I'll be honest - my husband goes to the gym consistently and has been meeting his own goals. I want to keep up with him and get back into shape. I've let myself go over the years and it's time I take "myself" back.

He's been asking me to participate in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with him and I always made the excuse that I was too fat and needed to lose weight first, but I never put a plan into place to make that happen. After all, it was just that - an excuse. It doesn't matter if I'm overweight,

No more blaming my past, my job, my family responsibilities, etc. Getting healthy and in shape will make those areas of my life so much better.
