Moms In Motion : Connecting Moms Through Fitness

I started working out one year ago. After my Husband had a heart attack ( 4th one). And my Grand mother passed away of a heart attack. Weight is an issue in our family. I have been heavy since I had my first child 22 years ago. When I lost my Grandmother I started thinking of how I wanted to see my Grand children and Great grand children. So I made my goal to be healthy and exercise. I have enjoyed my running group. The cold months ahead will be tough but my light at the end of the tunnel is I am bettering my health and I do not want to endure the pain my husband and grandmother have gone through. I started out as a size 12 barely squeezing into a pair of 12's I knew it was time. I am happy today 09-28-06 to say I am in a size 8 and still loosing weight. I have more energy and feel good about myself. My goal is to not have a heavy body but a healthy body. and wear cute clothes again.
