Happy New Year!!!

Ok, so it's been a while since I posted. December 7th to be exact. It was an absolutely fabulous holiday season... I was really busy but unfortunately I didn't take time to watch what I ate too much. I was very happily surprised today though when I got on the scale and only gained 4 pounds throughout the whole holiday beginning before Thanksgiving. Yeah!!! This may sound weird but when it is fully possible to gain 5 lbs in a weekend, I will take my 4. It's time to re-dedicate myself now. I think the phrasing of re-dedicate is much better than a "New Year's Resolution". Most resolutions fail, and I am not going to fail:-) I think that is what life is all about, trying new things, making mistakes, learning and growing. So, I have set a pretty realistic goal for myself. I plan to lose 5lbs a month. That will put me losing 60 lbs by the end of the year. I think that is completely doable and I am so excited to get there. When healthy, moderate goals are set, I am much more likely to complete them. Here comes a GREAT year!!!
