I totally agree!

My husband and I are starting to do CKD in hopes of boosting our metabolism and help us lose this pudge!!

I actually like working with weights a lot more than walking on my treadmill although I know I need both. I still would be very uncomfortable working at a gym (not that I can with three little kids.....not gonna pay childcare). So I prefer my home equipment. But I do think women dont' work with weights enough.

And as far as the diet patterns you were dead on! I was skipping breakfast (by the time I had time to eat is was 10am....almost lunch anyway) and I would eat things not good for me because the kids wouldn't eat everything, or I didn't want to make two meals. SO I would eat peanut butter and jelly and mac and cheese when they did. I'm also guilty of the night time eating. Most days taking care of three kids and homeschooling them, I wouldn't get a breather until they went to bed at 7pm. Then I was ravenous! I would eat like a maniac just trying to make up for earlier. And then ofcourse it was bedtime. Although I was busy with kids, it's not like I was jogging everywhere and so I got little exercise (our house is only 1300 sqft....not much room to have to walk to do something). Between that and pregnancies in wheelchairs I had grown from 135 to 240lbs. I'm so glad I saw the light before I got bigger!'

Here's to strong beautiful women!!!!
