The inspiration to blog...

As a mom and a wife, and member of the work world I sometimes feel as if I am slowly losing my identity and in an effort to find myself again I've created this blog. I must give the credit to where it is due though. My long time friend Liz has this great personal blog with a lot of insight, humor and the mads and glads of life thus the inspiration for myself to create somewhere I can be completely me, uncensored from the world of diaper changes and politeness and professionalism. So, Liz, I raise my margarita glass to you and thank you for the inspiration to find myself once again. Cheers to me being myself and cheers to you being amazing as always!

What's happened to me? I look in the mirror and think to myself, "What the hell?!" Yesterday was my 3 year wedding anniversary and during a trip down memory lane and my wedding album I see a beautiful, confident & fearless woman. Fast forward from those 3 years I see a woman who obviously looks older, tired and has a lot more skin and weight sagging from her body. Did I mention the stretch marks? Oh, and my perky boobs, where did they go?!
Let me tell you, hot stuff!

Everyone says oh, you'll bounce back and here I am one year after having my precious baby boy still bearing the scars and chub from pregnancy. No time for the gym and always on the go I have decided enough is enough. It's time to buckle down. I need to learn to use the word no and I need to take some time for me. So for all of you wonderful people in my life please do not be offended if I say no to you and if I disappear from time to time; it's just me trying to hide and reduce the amount of numbers I see on the scale.

And this isn't about me worrying about what other people think of me; I couldn't really give a flying flock. As I mentioned in the first paragraph I miss me and the energetic fearless girl I used to be. I just want to gain that old confidence I used to have.

Well, stay tuned for more blogs to come. I have a lot to share and you don't have to agree and you just might gain your own inspiration or insight, but in the end I hope my stories/ideas/findings bring a smile to your face and give you a chuckle or two!
