Introduction

I'm going to attempt to keep my introduction as brief as possible. I don't want to bore any possible readers to death, so it will be as to the point, as I can manage.

My name is Brooke, but I'm commonly referred to as Kalinka or Kali online. I am married to my wonderful husband, Brad. We have two daughters, Emlyn (5/09) and Rosa(9/11). I currently stay home to look after my children, and I enjoy homeschooling my oldest daughter. We're mainly focused on the basics of the ABCs and 123s right now.

The title of my blog was inspired by the fact that I am currently exclusively breastfeeding my youngest daughter, and at times, I feel like a cow.

The main purpose of my blog is going to be to follow my weight loss journey. Currently, I weigh 175 pounds. My goal weight is 130 pounds, but I would be ecstatic to make it to anywhere between 115-125, as I am 5'3, and that would be a healthy weight for me. My main goal is to become much more healthy, and to feel good about my body. I'm tired of feeling fat and unattractive despite a husband who constantly tells me that I'm beautiful. I'm doing this for myself, and for my health, so that I can live a long life for my children.

I would love to get any support, or advice from anyone at all willing to offer it.
