it is due time

One full year has passed in a blink. I decided to write again. Here goes a brief recap since last year.
Had another baby. He's the kind of baby parents wish for and idealize about before they know what they are in for. Having had 2 babies in 2.5 years my body is a visual catastrophe.
I am 192 pounds. A heavyweight champion of excess. I broke 200 while I was pregnant.
Four days ago I decided to reverse the direction of the poundage.
I took a Stroller Strider class. A rude humiliating wake up call. It is worse than I imagined.
I spoke to Scott, a lifetime friend on Saturday morning. He mentioned something I had never come across. Later that night I ran across the same information on line. I decided to jump in. Whole30 began a few hours later. I read deeply inspiring testamonials and realized/decided there is a way out. The first day I increased my water intake and noticed that water tasted sweet again. A memory I had forgotten. I crave it now.
A good time for my goals here. I am going to complete a 30 day cycle. I am going to physically move my body through walking, stroller strides class, bike or Yoga 6 days a week. I am logging a visual food diary. I am.documenting this journey. Here's yesterdays food photos.
