About Me

Hi There!

This blog is about my weight loss journey stumbles and becoming attempting to become healthier, all while raising my teens into responsible young adults, running the home, maintaining marriage to Rambo and aging gracefully.

I am Wife to Rambo and Teen Toting Momma to 2 sporty kids, Teen Queen (TQ) and Boy Wonder (BW).  It’s not always easy, I just make it look that way.  Deployments can be rough.  Hopefully, there won’t be another one for a while.  Being mom taxi keeps me rolling at all times.  They are both involved in sports that keep them active all year long.  Their off-season can be as hectic as the actual game season at times.

I’m an aging SAHM.  The kids are teenagers now and at some point will leave our little nest that we have made and cared for all these years.  I am finally figuring that at some point I will have time to myself.  I need to actually find myself and determine who I am other than so-and-so’s momma.  The thought of this frightens me to my core, but *shhhh* don’t tell anyone.  I must always maintain the appearance that I am in control.  At least on the exterior.

With that being said.  This nurturing momma needs to lose some of her ‘nurturing weight’. You might be thinking; what the @%$# are you talking about woman?  When I was a kid a good many of the SAHMs were ‘fluffy’ and the career moms were not.  I learned to associate nurture with fluff.  You know the good, snuggly, comforting kind of fluff.  It seems, when I became a mom I unconsciously seem to have gained some nurture fluff.  

I've always had an hour-glass figure.  These days my hour-glass just has a lil more sand than it used to back before I had kids and became a mom.  Having tried a wide variety of weight loss methods, pills, shakes and diets over the years; I resolved myself to remaining at a certain weight, yet hoping in the back of my mind that one day I could lose a little bit.

Basically, I am just your average, slightly agoraphobic retro 1950′s housewife who enjoys my family, ballparks, swearing, cooking, knitting, and crochet.
