Well, I never thought I'd see this day - I'm starting a blog! I was going through old pictures to put in the book and decided I really do look WAY better thinner. I figure there's enough people out there in the same boat as I am that would like to join me on my weight loss journey. Now, I'm kind of committed aren't I? That's usually my problem - I fall off the committment wagon! I start off determined and then gradually go back to my old ways... which is eating too much of the wrong kind of food; not eating regularly; and a real big issue - lack of exercise! If it's not fun, I don't want to do it... and I've never been a big fan of the slogan, "no pain - no gain!" To me that's just wrong! So, here goes - one pound at a time.... and I'm not going to tell you what I weigh now... I'll tell you when I've reached my goal! Some things you just don't share... But I'll try and take pictures every month and hopefully in 8 months - on my 55th birthday - I'll go tandem skydiving and I won't be freaking out because I'm too heavy for the person to land safely - and GENTLY - with on the ground... whoo... now I'm REALLY committed...
