Whew...who said that losing weight was easy? NOT ME! But, boy has it been worth it. Something came over me during the month of December. I'm not sure if it was another season of Biggest Loser getting ready to begin or what it was exactly. I just knew that it was time. Time to put all of my excuses away...time to get serious about getting healthy...time to be happy with the body that God has given me.

So, I jumped in with both feet. After receiving great weight loss advice from a successful friend, I began my journey. I had no idea where I would be four months later, but I began nonetheless! I set small goals for myself...small attainable goals. I was shocked when after one month, I had lost TEN pounds. Who would have thought!?! The next ten pounds should fall off just as easily, right? WRONG! :) This is where perseverence and creativy had to come in.

I began walking each week with a great friend. I loved the physical exercise and the fellowship! She encouraged me to step things up. "Let's jog!" Are you kidding? I didn't know that my body could jog...and do it two days a week?! Boy did we start out slow (thank heavens for her patience - thank you, Katie)!

Now, I am up to jogging every morning with my children (Z on his roller blades, A on his bike or scooter, and Little B on her bike with trusty training wheels). Who knew that exercising could be so much fun and so great for my family? The kids are loving it! And I am reaping the rewards. I am now down 26 pounds. I have six more pounds to get to my next small goal. Unfortunately, I am stuck on another one of those pesky plateaus. But what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. :)
