So it is the year 2011 and I will offically end my twenties and begin my thirties! I am actually pretty happy about that because although I had some great times in my twenties and met all the major life milestones like love, marriage, children, career, etc. ---so NOT in that order by the way... I am ready to move on and begin a new chapter in my life.
It took me a whole month to decide on my New Years Resolutions because who has time to think about that stuff in December? Christmas is such a busy time of year that I just couldn't wrap my head around any new goals or "resolutions" just yet. However, I though long and hard about it and I know what I need to do. I will be losing weight... YES it took me a month to decide I was actually going to do it. I have made excuses for so long... "why lose the weight if I will gain it back when I get pregnant," "I'm pregnant, I NEED to eat," "I JUST had a baby." Time is up, excuses are old. I'm not having any more kids and I'm turning 30!! So it's time to get serious about this but I have no idea how I am going to lose weight to be honest. I have no plan, no trainer, no doctors involved. Let's face it, healthy food is expensive and I live on a tight budget (5 kids, remember?) I cannot afford a gym membership or meal plans they mail to your house so I think I'm going to try something very different for me..... it's called "accountability" and I am really dreading this!! So starting February 1st I am going to start a new blog and post what I eat, when I work out and when I don't, when I indulge and when I behave. This will be a year long blog, I think I have enough to lose to stretch it out for a full year if I do it slowly, as I am told this is the correct way to lose weight and keep it off! I just want to say for the record, I just want to live healthier and be healthier and teach my children healthy habits. I will set small goals to start, just committing to posting everyday will be a major goal! Wish me luck!!

Love this idea! It's soo important to keep yourself motivated. It sux watching what you eat. I made a resolution for the same thing and was doing fantastic...till yesterday!

I mean I'm only like 5 ft! but u motivated me again (i'm easy!)Good luck and maybe post some healthy recipes you come across, I get soo tired of the ones in my rotation!
