I am 35 years old and married with two wonderful step children. When I was growing up, I never had an issue with weight. I could eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. And I did. I grew up on Chef Boyardee and Fast Food and loved it!
In my early twenties, I was told, "when you turn 30, everything will change". That person was right. Luckily for me, I had met Nick, my husband, who was always into health and fitness. When we met, I was a smoker, drinker and "heavy partier" Soon after, I joined a gym (and actually used the memebership) and got a personal trainer who pushed me so hard that I really started seeing results. I liked the way I felt and was able to quit smoking cold turkey. I also toned down the drinking and late nights.
Shortly after Nick and I got married, he had double disk replacement in his neck and after a life of running (4 marathons and 13 1/2 marathons) had to start over. I had always wanted to run and thought, "if I'm ever going to do this, the time is now". He and I trained for my first 5K in only a month and then 7 months after that we ran my first 1/2 marathon. Six months later, I completed my first and he his fifth marathon.
The hardest part for me has always been my eating habits. I love anything that is bad for me and it has been really difficult cutting out the bad and bringing in the good. We try to stick to a 1 "cheat meal" rule a week and it works. That way, I don't feel as deprived. I know I can save up and have something I really love once per week.
