What's First

Back to the things I want to change and new things I want to learn. May as well get the changes out of the way first…at the top of my list and I'm sure a lot of other people's list is to lose weight.

I had great success two years ago I started the South Beach Diet and went down from a comfortable 20 to a 13 (ok a loose 14 never quite got in the 12s). I stayed there with that last 15 lbs to lose for a year and a half then last year after our wedding I decided to lift all restrictions from myself not thinking I would relapse as much as I did. We had two receptions one in August and another in October luckily for me my dress still fit in October. Then right before Thanksgiving we went to Vegas and I decided to eat whatever I wanted let's just say Cheesecake Factory and great food...big mistake. Then I said I'll get back on track after a month because it was the holidays. Let's just say I'm still not completely back on track and I can't make myself stay on Phase 1 which is really ticking me off. The first go around I had no problems whatsoever following the plan now if I get 1 day in I'm doing the jig, if only I could do more than one day at time.

I've come up with ways to motivate myself but life just keeps getting in the way…another bad thing because we don’t even have kids yet.

I think no I know I'm getting back on the right track and will restart Phase 1 and stick to it starting Sunday. What makes me say this…the unthinkable a really good look at myself in the mirror not as bad as the 360 on "What Not to Wear" on TLC but close enough for me. I HATED what I saw and I am so disappointed in myself but I've done it before and I'll do it again.

Well that's enough for now. The next thing I'll talk about is trying something new…like a new attitude on life.

My first blog

Hi all,

This is my very first post in my very first blog. I often wonder why people create blogs and after reading a couple of them I think I figured it out. I have my own reason for starting one. I am on a journey to new things, new hobbies, new ways of thinking, and hopefully a new me in a way. I want to change things about myself that I don't particularly like and hopefully I can help others through my process.

I'll write more later.
