and so it begins....

Well the fun must come to an end...eventually!  I recently got married in November.  The diet and exercise plan was in full effect (I may have started it about 2 months before my wedding..but it was in effect!!)  The wedding was great, the dress FIT and looked great.  Now let the honeymoon fun begin!!  We went to NYC with no rules in mind just to have fun.  That we did, we ate and drank and spent money (that last one is still a sore subject ha!)  The diet went out the window and has stayed gone for a couple of months...until now.  I have recently joined up with some girlfriends to run a 5k.  This may not be that big of a deal to most..but to a non runner it is a challenge.  I decided that I wanted to get a jump start on my fabulously fit friends so that I didn't look like the "before" from the biggest loser.  ha!  So the journey begins.  I asked my husband to buy us a scale...and like the sweet husband he is, he got one.  The dreeded day was tonight...my first weigh in. The words OH MY LORD were spoken a few times!! haha!  I have challenged myself with a few goals.  I am going to write about my struggles and irritations as well as my joys and accomplishments.  I am going to attempt to workout 5 days a week.  I am also cutting out certain carbs and alcohol, cokes, and sweets.  Here is my apology to anyone who comes into contact with me when I am having a craving! :)  I will blog once a week to document my weight loss journey.  I am hoping that by blogging it will keep me more accontable!! Let the weight loss begin!! :)
