Little unthought of changes

I keep wanting to write this down and just haven't gotten to it yet.

A couple of weeks ago, I was laying on my living room floor being the mommy jungle gym that I am. My oldest Isabelle decided to give me one of her deep tissue back massage by standing on my back. She does a pretty good job and uses her little toes and works out a lot of kinks.

Anyways while she was doing that she stopped and said yew mommy what is that, and paused and moved her little foot around a bit more and was shocked she was like oh I can feel your bones.

That made me happy knowing I must be losing inches on my back. I love having the kids around they are so outspoken and you know they mean what they say. Of coarse there are times the words they choose can be hurtful but they just don't understand all the meanings yet.

They have been such great little motivators for me through this whole process. The boy I babysit has said on walks, Jamie you are looking smaller, your belly isn't as big as it used to be. Or now that I walk him to school just about every morning he said just the other day I know why you like to walk me to school, for the exercise right? I said yes because walking is good for your heart to help you stay healthy and strong.

My oldest has said things here and there about how my clothes like when they are getting too big and saying you need to buy some smaller ones. She is a great personal trainer too she enjoys working out with me of coarse there are somethings I do with her that is more fun for her and makes me have to work harder but is great for my work out. My son will do things like that too.

I'm just so happy to be showing these kids the healthy side of my life. Who knows how they would have ended up if I continued to gain.

My kids are my motivation, they are my dependents meaning they couldn't live with out me or some one to help them with everything. If I am not healthy and can't be there for them then I have failed. I am stronger & healthier mentally and physically.

Today is my 27th birthday and my 26th year was all about starting to improve myself and I have accomplished a lot. I am so proud of who I am and who I am becoming. So I am going to make this 27th year rock out all the years gone by. So many of them I have wasted by feeling sorry, lonely and lost in myself. No more live life to it's fullest!
