Ready, Set, Go!

How do I always end up last?! LOL

Hey people, my name is Kateedyd. Some of you may already know me from my blogs. I met Eli and Jen almost a year ago and we finally have gotten fed up with our lazy selves enough to do something about it. I had collaborated with Eli on Dear Flabby but wasn't sure I had the motivation to make the commitment yet, so I waited. I happen to be a lot smaller/shorter than the other two but the amount of weight I need to lose is about the same.

It's time now though for sure! I can't stand being this fat anymore. I have been yo-yoing with my weight for years. I have two kids that are 11 years apart so that's been a major factor in my weight gain. Each time I lost weight and kept it off I'd either change jobs or have a kid and that would totally change my activity level. I'm SO glad that all of that is over and I can start focusing back on myself...more.

I think one of my biggest problems, if not THE problem, is that I am an insomniac. I think that my hormones are totally out of whack and that messes everything else up. Not sleeping properly changes everything and I end up not having any appetite during the day. I'm pretty good about not binging at night but if my only meal is dinner then I haven't had any fuel all day and it just sits there all night. Some people have called me anorexic because I just won't eat and can go like that for days on end but the problem is much bigger and far different from that.

My main goal is to be able to wear my entire wardrobe again. I have a VERY full closet and I'm lucky if I even wear 10 different things. I have totally become one of those sloppy big shirt and sweats moms and being that I'm not even 30 yet, that just isn't acceptable at all. Now that I have two friends willing to "do" this with me, I am really motivated to match or pass up their progress. hee hee hee I never really thought that I'd be doing this with people around the country instead of friends in my own neighborhood but hey, what ever works right? These are two of my closest friends and I am really glad that we have finally pulled this together.

Wish us luck and feel free to share as the journey continues!
