A New Year...

A new me... well not really new me, just a me who is more in control of my food choices.  I have never been to an over eaters anonymous but I often wonder if I qualify.  I have often said I have an unhealthy relationship with food - I tend to LOVE it, it's just not always so kind to me in return.

I went to bed last night, reminded that I would have to weigh myself today.  I thought to myself, 'you should look for that scale' but I didn't.  So, luckily under a pile of towels I found the scale in a storage closet this morning.  Honestly, I would have felt terrible if I couldn't find it - after all, I am motivated to make a change.

Drum roll please.......

The scale showed me the number of 211.4.  Some have asked me, what was your heaviest?  Well, I am embarrassed to say I was up to 260 pounds over two years ago.  So, I'm not proud of that number but I am not where I was and I am thankful for that.  It also reminds me that it can be done, I thought I could before and I know I can do it again.

So, it's on.  I had myself a walk/jog yesterday evening and it actually helped me to relax a bit - I was CRABBY!  I sometimes forget the therapeutic effect of exercise.

So, Happy New Year friends.  I know it's going to be a good one!
