About Bluey
Hi this is my first blog of any kind so you have to baear with me. I moved here from Australia and am a mother of 2 teenage boys.
I always loved to excersise and started early in my elementary school doing little athletics and triathlon. I always loved running, it gives me a feeling of freedom and free care. I am sad that my both sons do not like sports, they do not like participating in any school activities unless it involves game consoles controllers.
I am lactose intolerant and have been using soy products for many years now. I love soy milk, powders, protein, bars and even ice cream. I always ensure that there is no dairy products included and have found that the bodybuilding.com website has lots of information on their products ingredients helping me decide what to use. This has made my life so much easier and healthier at the same time. I highly recommed this site for anyone.
I am motivated by others, especially when they are serious in achieving their goals. I am trying to motivate my sons to do more exersise. We have joined local YMCA and go swimming every day. My youngest has been running with me every evening, and the oldest one does weight lifting and some time cycling. He is getting ready to joing US military (Army) and serve our country. He is only 17 years old, had real trouble adjusting to high school life, but I am still so very proud of him.
I am going back to school to get some more education and eventually join the workforce again. I am tossing between air flight attendent or joining army reservers or even be a fire fighter. (Those always have been my dreams and goals)
Well that will be it for now. Hoo-roo

As the Aussies here say, "Good on ya!". Not exactly sure what it means, but it sounds positive. What branch is your son going in to?

I struggle with getting my kids to exercise as well. That is why it is so important for me to succeed with my weight loss goals. There are a few video games that are more interactive that might get them up and moving. The WII has some but there are also some boxing and kick-boxing games that you just plug into your tv. you box against the opponent on the screen and it is an amazing workout. Then your kids get to play video games while they work out. I have also heard of people who setup an exercise bike that charges a battery that runs the tv. Then they have to exercise to be able to play games. Anyway, welcome to BB.com. Good luck, we are all behind you.
