My pledge....

Hello! I am a typical woman... Married, two kids, live in the burbs and a teacher. I have started on a journey to health. It all started with having kids. My pre-prenancy weight was a whopping 178 at 5'5" tall. I worked out next to never, ate organic SAD and watched a lot of TV. I consistently complained of being overweight and dreaming of the 125 lbs I was when I started dating my husband, I am sure he did as well ;). Well God threw the answer in my arms, quite literally, I had my first baby. She was a beautiful, perfect and amazing gift. All of her! Including her colic, her eczema, her allergies and her attitude! Two years after her I had my second bundle of joy! She too was the apple of my eye! She developed similar atopic conditions just like her older sister, but not as severe. So with these challenges brought many life style changes. We have gone from the Standard American Diet to organic Standard American Diet to whole clean foods with lots of pastured animal products all cooked at home from scratch. I was proud to boast my new figure of 155 lbs. Recently I had blood work and was shocked at some slightly elevated numbers (more to come). I love the test that the doctor used! It is very comprehensive, concise and tangible! A great measurement tool for now and for the future. So my New Years resolution is to race to improve my numbers! After all we live in a world of accountability!!! If we can't see it, it doesn't exist right?!?! Well....here are my stories!
