Starting Out

I know that many people have made New Year's resolutions to loose weight, just like I have many, many times. I really didn't make a resolution, but more of a promise to myself. A promise to eat healthier, loose a crap-ton of weight, learn some new recipes, be active with my kids, be a better house keeper... basically a whole new start. Last year I told myself that I would loose the weight before I turned thirty, and wouldn't you know it, I'm almost 30 1/2, and I'm the heaviest I have ever been.

I have heard from many people, that you can not change your life easily, and you will need support along the way. I am going to use this blog as a way to share my victories and failures.

I am making an effort to get everything in order, to hit the ground running with my journey. Here is what I have done. I have a treadmill in the basement, with a TV so I can "power-walk" while I watch my shows. I have signed up for Weight Watcher and starting Jan 10, a group of us will be doing a biggest loser competition at work for 12 weeks. I have cleaned out all the candy/junk food from my desk. You gotta start somewhere.

For all of you that will read this, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, and motivate me to stay on track. And if you see me, chowing down on something that I shouldn't, slap me.
