Hey everyone! Today is the first day of the rest of....my NEW life. After losing my job a couple of months ago and becoming a stay-at-home mom until I found a job, I decided it was time to make some major changes. The first thing I decided I HAVE to do is get this extra weight off...I'm so sick of it. The up and down, the lack of will-power, the excuses, the guilt...it all has to go. So, this is the first step in my new journey toward my goal weight! BUT WAIT, there's more....

I figured as long as I was making changes, I might as well make them all at once(ha)! I'm also going back to school to get a new bachelor's degree. Yes, I'm completely crazy! I just decided that being unhappy in my work life was just adding to my weight gain, so I'm taking the plunge and going back full time to work on a bachelor's in business administration with an accounting major. It's my dream and I figure, I might as well go for it now.

So, here's to being thinner, healthier and happier in 2011...can't wait to see how it goes! Looking forward to seeing others' progress as well.
