I finally admit it - I can't do it alone

I loved indulging myself with all that time working out and it showed. Then, I became a parent and all that disposable time went bye-bye. I've tried many times in the past twelve years to work out at home, but it's always been too easy to quit. This year is going to be different. I have a twelve year old daughter who is also signing up with Free Trainers. We will succeed together. Any words of wisdom will be welcomed.

Especially when you have a teen along with ya! That should make it easier to do good food in the house since they usually eat the worst! ;-) Good luck - and congrats on taking the first step and having someone along with you to hold you accountable!! -------------- ~~~~~~~ROXIE~~~~~~~ http://www.mycoffeegirl.com
