Well this is my first blog post ever, and as I am fully aware that people have been blogging for years I decided that today I will join the revolution of words.   I am not sure if anyone will read this but I have decided that is just another way for me to add accountability for my newest endeavor.  I have begun the biggest challenge of my life thus far and refuse to fail.   I am using 2013 to turn my life around for good, it is time to lose the weight and and live a healthier life.  Not just for myself but for my husband, friends and most of all my 3 beautiful children.  I refuse to ever become a burden on them or to ever leave them before they are ready and grown and to be sure I don't I need to take care of myself.   So far I am feel like I am off to a great start.  I have begun an excellent well researched food plan and have began working with a trainer.  I am going to use this blog to track my success, my emotions and even my struggles.
Weight is something not everyone understands and for those of us that do understand it is difficult to explain.  If you do read this I would love to hear your thoughts, your stories and your words of wisdom.

Here is a recent picture of me with my family.  I will try and add a new one each month to help track my progress.
