Now that we are winding down 2009 it is time to look ahead into the future.  This is always a tough time of year.  You feel like doing nothing.  All of the holiday hype is over and now I am TIRED!  I am sitting on the couch having a Jamma day wondering what will make 2010 different from 2009.  It is always fun to think of what you will do new and different.  For me it is implimentation that is the issue.  I, like many others, tend not to meet myresolutions.  Is there a possibility that 2010 will be different?  My answer is yes.  This is my year to shine and here is why:

  1. The kids are a little older now so perhaps I will have a little more energy to focus on myself.
  2. I am preparing myself to be a success in my mind.
  3. I need to get healthy.
  4. I have a nice support system set up this time

So with all of this going for me I am sure to be a success.  I know that last year I most likely said the same thing but this year I am going to do it.  I will be embarking on my weight loss journey on January 2, 2010 and would love to have some of you join me.

If weight loss is not a resolution please share your resolution with us.  Support is the most effective way to accomplish your goals.  So what do you hope to accomplish this year?

My Resolution:

Now that 2009 is here I am tackling my resolution with you.  In some ways I think that this will make it happen.  It is the 14th year that my resolution has been the same and I would like to make it happen this year.  Like millions of other people I would like to, I need to, loose weight.  I am not a mildly overweight or pleasently plump woman.  My weight is killing me and I feel it.

I think that an important part of loosing weight is discovering why you want to looke weight.  I have many reasons all of which are very important to me.

  • My girls: Everyday I discuss with my girls, especially Abigail, why we need to eat right.  I have drilled it into her hear that it is important to eat right to be healthy.  Many times I feel like a hipocrite.  I know just about everything there is to know about eating health and loosing weight.  I have many times considered being a nutritionist.  Who would go to an obese nutritionist though?  So for my girls I need to make this resolution stick.
  • My Foot: Over the summer I broke my foot in a bad place.  The Lisfranc joint is what supports your arch and wouldn’t you know that is the spot I broke two bones.  I am in need of surgery and would like to be able to bounce back a little easier.
  • My Health: At the age of 31 I am a borderline diabetic, borderline high blood preasure and who knows what else.  I think about my future.  I am dying everyday!  Each yummy treat I eat a little more of me dies.  I am killing myself and I need to stop!

We will do this together.  Join me in living a healthier life.  I will post a recipe that I have tried and liked every week and will post a picture of myself on Sundays.  Feel free to loose with me.  All we can loose is weight and all we can gain is LIFE!
