Getting Started....

Getting started is one of the hardest things to do. And I seem to have started more times than I can remember, but hey, I never stop starting, which is a good thing, right? This will be the last time I start on this journey and actually finish it.

With the help of my good friend Kelley, I am in this for the long hall. I also want to thank Kelley for for never giving up on me!! I can see where someone eventually would give up on a person and get tired of the "I want to be fit", all the while stuffing their face with chips and dip!! I can see where that would get aggravating...

Along this journey I am going to be sharing my starting weight, starting measurements, beginning picture and food log. I will do the food log as much as I can, entering it on the blog, but I will be writing down what I eat every day no matter what. Every week I will weigh in on Sunday and post it to the blog (unless I'm on vacation of course). Now mind you this will be "very" revealing in many ways since I'll also be sharing my thoughts, feelings and everything else that comes to mind. So feel free to skip the parts that don't interest you! Seriously do you want to hear every tedious detail of my life, I don't think so :)

Obviously I am going to have to learn to eat all over again, the right way! There is so much I don't know and I hope I become very competent in all aspects of what to eat, when to eat it and of course what not to eat! I want my husband, kids, family and friends to be proud of me. I don't want to be the girl with the pretty face anymore!!! I want to be the wife, mom, daughter & friend that people look at and say, wow, if she can do it so can I!

I look forward to any and all comments, suggestions and always as much support along my journey!! And don't forget, you can also kick me in the butt when I'm slacking!!!!
