Okay...as you can tell, I am way off the wagon here. I started to go to the gym and then I let my overbooked schedule rule my life and be an excuse for why I eat on the run and avoid the gym.

I do want to take a moment and focus on my husband. Josh is an amazing human being. Sometimes I can't believe that someone so smart, funny, and resourceful picked me for his life partner and mother of his children. I am the epitome of disorganization, procrastination, and I can't tell a joke right to save my life. Josh is a big guy. I would be lying if I said I haven't been concerned over his health. In the last year, though, Josh has taken many steps to getting his weight and metabolic syndrome in check.
He did a juice detox a while back that completely changed the way he thinks about food. As a result, we are trying to keep a 90% vegetarian diet for pure nutritional reasons. He has learned a number of very tasty recipes. Finally, he is adding in exercise. He got the Fitocracy app to give his fitness efforts a gaming feel and tracks his calories using Lose It!.
I am so proud of how focused and dedicated he is. Josh is very supportive of my own fitness goals and is very encouraging. It's not his fault that I am a cranky mess! LOL!
He is my inspiration to find that motivation and press on. I think I'm going to have to start letting some things go so that I can put my health and fitness first. Maybe if I do that, my kids will see that Josh and I think it is a priority. I want them to choose to live healthy lives as they get older too.
