Ok...To Be Honest........

OK.....here goes. I started following weight watchers (loosely) last Friday, September 21, 2007. I am ashamed to say that my starting weight was 196 lbs. I am only 5 foot 2 1/2 inches tall. I pledge to do some kind of physical activity every day. I have a treadmill, but I probably won't get on it every day. I have had it since May or June and have never got on it. I swear to stick to it and not binge. It is so easy to give in and have choc chip cookies or some other kind of sweets when I have a bad day or IT (I haven't come up with an appropriate nickname yet) ticks me off or whatever.....you get the point. BUT...I have to keep telling myself that 5 seconds on the lips = 5 yrs on the hips. Being pregnant 10 times in 4 yrs does a number on your body!

OK...a little history.....I met IT right before I turned 14.....We've been together ever since. We got married a couple of months before I turned 17. We have had a REALLY BAD marriage. There were a few good times (very few) in the beginning. It's hard to be able to support 3 kids on your own, so we are still together. I had 7 miscarriages....I was told that I shouldn't have been able to have my first two and would never be able to have another one....well, they were wrong. Our youngest one is tiny...she's 4 1/2 yrs and she only weighs 31 1/2 lbs. and is 38 in. tall. The other two have no major issues.

Also, my husband's great grandmother died yesterday morning. We had to sit the kids down and tell them last night. It wasn't the easiest thing to do, but it wasn't difficult either.

Well, enough rambling....I have to go check for my grade in my US History class. I am taking American Government and US History. I took my first major test in each class...I got my grade in my Government class....76.25.........not good....it was 80 questions in 90 min. I am still waiting on my grade in my History class. I am very anxious.

Ok, I have to go now. I have to get ready to go to the funeral home for the viewing. The funeral is tomorrow at 2:00. I will try to post tomorrow.

My First Post

My name is AJ. I am 26 years old and have 3 wonderful children. You will find that my life revolves around them. I work a full time job and am looking for a 2nd part time job. I also take online classes...if I ever graduate, I will be an Elementary School Teacher. I also take care of the kids, cook, clean, do laundry...you get the point. My kids are 8,6, and 4. My middle one is the only boy. They each think that they are grown! My girls do cheerleading and my son plays football. My husband doesn't work at all. He's been out of work for about a month. Long story....He hasn't been able to find a job all this time.......I told him I was going to ask my momma to move in to help with bills and he is applying for a job as I type this....Imagine that. I am also trying to lose weight. I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancies and have had a hard time losing weight. I'm not huge (at least that's what people keep telling me), but I am way bigger than I want to be. Well, enough rambling for right now....I will post again really soon!
