New Year

Well today is December 30th. One more day and 2008 will be over with. Not that I am sad to see it go but I'm not. But I am looking forward to 2009. I know 2009 will have lots of fun times. And I am hoping to see all of my goals completed or close to it. We are going camping and leaving tomorrow. We will be back Saturday night. So I am planning on Sunday being THE day. The day to stop this nonsense. THE day to get back my health, my body, my self-esteem. THE DAY.

WEIGHT LOSS MARKS for 2009:
Let's just give up for now until I can get back into this. :sigh:

You can link up your New Year’s goals with the Happy Housewife here.

When will this year end?

I gained 3lbs this week. Damn this time of year. I know that is no excuse but UGH!!! I just need to get through the next two weeks. I CAN do this!!

LONG time

It's been almost two years since I've written here. I think it's time to resurrect this blog! 2009 is the YEAR I get to goal. 2007 was not because I got pregnant. LOL! 2008 SHOULD have been the year but with twin babies - I do have to give myself a break. At least this year, as long as I don't gain 6 lbs in the next two weeks, I will have a loss - although SMALL - for this year.

This blog is to chronicle my weight loss. No family members will be privy to it. That way if I need to vent because they are causing me grief and I want to eat (and we now we shouldn't let our emotions dictate what we eat) then I can do it here. =) And so this blog is resurrected from the dead. LOL!

Another Week.

Yes, I gained weight since last week but that was to be expected. I was sick last week and most likely dehydrated so that didn't help. Plus I wasn't drinking water. Bad Heather!!! So anyway, I am back with things today. I exercised last night in the freezing cold but I did it!! I wogged. Felt really good too. I got an iPod and a heart rate monitor for Christmas so I am definitely getting to use them! I need to! That's why I got them, right? I am planning on doing a 5K race March 18th. It's at Knott's Berry Farm which is right around the corner from my house so I'm excited about that. But it's only 2 months away! YIKES! I better get on the ball! Really!

We are going camping this weekend. Should be interesting. We are going with a new group of people. We've gone camping with the one couple a long time ago but we don't know anyone else. Hopefully it works out ok. I love to camp I just hate the work involved in getting everything ready and then coordinating with the other people that are going. :sigh: Oh well. Anyway, hopefully I can be better at updating this now.
