A beginning

Well... I thought I'd give this blog thing a try.  I'm Insta-dedicated, so we'll see if I can maintain this new platform too.

A little about me?

I'm a momma with two awesome kids... an almost three year old (next week!) and a five month old.  I'm a stay at home momma and I couldn't imagine doing ANYTHING else.  I do have a part time evening job, but it's more of a hobby than a job... I'm on staff with a college marching band.  It gets me out of the house doing something that I enjoy as well as giving me a daily dose of #MeTime (Can you hashtag a blog?!).

Now... The weighty part...
I gained a TON of weight while pregnant with both of my kids.  After my first, I lost 50 pounds with WW over the course of a year, then stagnated and stayed on this plateau for another year.  Then I got pregnant with number two.  I gained it all back and then some.  So, I'm currently right around the minus fifty mark again and it's taken me a little less time.

I'm on this journey this time and WILL NOT QUIT IT.  I have a newfound determination and feel that I'm in it to win it in the depth of my soul.  I'll mostly use this space for reflection, contemplation, and a place to get out those thoughts that go along with the journey.

And, I'll leave you with my signature, a haiku.

A mom's job is tough
But sometimes she has to do
What is best for her.
