Where to start??? I am a mom of two wonderful children. My oldest is a 10yr old girl and a 8 yr old boy. I have been with my husband for 11 years.
I have made a point to put my family first like most moms, which means not putting much attention to myself. Even though I haven't liked the way I have looked since I was in the sixth grade, I haven't had the determination to change my habits. The women in my family are all big in size, which made my goal in life not to get as big as them. I'm not there yet but if I don't change it will happen. Now that my children are older, especially my daughter, I have taken a step back and seen where I need to do better. My daughter is starting to have the same issues with her body that I did and still do. I have realized 'How can I help her if I don't help myself?' That has made a huge difference. Over the past six or so months, I have wondered where do I want to be in 5-10 years (not just with my health but my life in general). I have been driving a school bus for seven years now, and don't want that to be the only thing that I have done in my life. Don't get me wrong I love that my job gave me the chance to be there for my children when they need me since my schedule is their schedule but I need to do more for myself now that they are older. I was thinking about going back to school. To see if that was something I really wanted I took a class about how my local police department works. I have always had an interest in law/police but now it seems like everything has fallen into place. I have now decided to do what I need to do to get into our law enforcement. I know that there is a lot that I need to do. As I talked with some officers during the class I got a lot of valuable information. I already knew that it was a lot of work not only academically but also physically. I think I would be okay with the academics but the physical side of things would be the hard part. I asked a lot of officers what I could do to help get my body ready. Many officers told me sit-ups, pull-ups, leg lefts and running (lots of running). One told me that as well and then told me about P90x. He told me how it helped him with his running times. I did my own checking into it as well as asked others (friends/officers) what they thought or if they have heard of it. They all said that it was a really good program and it would help me with the physically. One of the great things about me wanting to become an officer is I have to get into shape. So I have since then invested into P90x and decided to if nothing else get my body in the best shape it can be in. I also have my husband doing it with me.
