Most mothers I've encountered have done a great job raising their kids, meeting the needs of the family and are often very successful in their careeers, but they've lost themselves in the process. Rather than trying to change back to who I was, I've spent time thinking about what I want in my life, what are my passions and joys and who do I want to be. Start where you are. All of the choices you've made were the best you could make with the information you had at the time. You did what you could do. I think this focus can put you in forward motion. Give it a try and develop a vision of what you want your life to be. I look forward to Jonathan's perspective because he is acknowledging that life changes as we age and we have many obligations, but it is up to us to take control of what we want our life to be.

I used to be very fit and a good sprinter but as life has gone on and I have had 3 kids my priorities have changed and I have forgotten about myself so I think now is the time to remember me and change back to who I was!!

Since working online my physique has taken a dive. (Literally speaking :-)) which is tragic really and I want to get back on track with my health. I got diagnosed with Gillian Barre Syndrom in 2006 which was a year of hell, but now I'm back to normal and lucky I was lucky in terms of not ending up in a wheel chair. But this sent me spiraling downwards in terms of fitness and overall well being and yet my mind is stronger now than it has ever been. So I will follow along with this and partake in your fitness network. Being accountable is a very powerful force and I intend to use it. :-) Hi Jonathan,

My last few posts in December on this topic will go into the process of goal-setting and progressive habit integration and then set up an incremental plan of action that I'll use o guide my journey and invite everyone else to modify to guide theirs. Interestingly, it's really important to give each new behavior time to integrate before adding another into the mix, so, though it's a bit counterintuitive, doing too much can actually be more damaging to success than not doing enough!
