I am a retired teacher / school administrator and now work part-time for educational researchers at a local state university and love my job. Working makes it harder to find quality time for exercise so I have been doing youtube exercise videos. I have a step, a mini trampoline, and kettlebells/dumbbells at home so that helps but I still feel the need to join a gym and push myself harder. Meal planning is a little difficult because my husband can eat anything he wants and not gain weight plus he has a huge appetite but I do my best to work around that! I live on the Texas Gulf coast. I am anxious to get this weight off before summer gets here!
