Losing to Win: nature walk

Who am I?

My name is Jessica and I am a 26 year old stay at home mom who lives in New Hampshire.
I've been overweight most of my life, and I've tried a million different diets and tons of different workouts but nothing ever stuck. I kept losing focus or just giving up. Recently, a family member became ill rather unexpectedly and it opened my eyes. I am using that as my motivation to lose weight. I don't ever want my kids to go through the pain of dealing with me getting sick because of something I just didn't feel like doing, like exercising & eating right.

My son, Alexander, is 3 years old and he is my world. He is a big pain in the butt a good part of the time, but he keeps me on my toes and I couldn't live without him.

My step daughter Jaclyn is an angel, and she is constantly reminding me of all that's good and pure in this world.

These kids motivate me to be the best person I possibly can. I started this blog for them, to make sure I can be a part of their lives for as long as possible. They've given me so much & I want to return the favor for being here for them for many, many years to come!
