Blog Virgin...

Well, this is the first enty into my personal blog...have to say, I'm really new at this. I rarely read other's blogs as there just never seems to be enough time in the day to devote to it. However, a friend introduced me to her website and thus, the idea was sparked.

So, I've been overweight all my life...struggled with it. Loads of diets, programs, incentives, workout buddies, etc. I've tried many times to kick the weight. In 2002 and 2003, I began the Weight Watchers program and had much success. I dropped nearly 100 pounds over a 2 year period. I was so thrilled to finally be what our society considers "normal" with regard to size and weight. However, over the last few years I have become lazy and complacent and re-gained about 40-45 pounds. So, this year, I have made a committment to myself to really get healthy. As part of that committment, I am eating foods that are higher in nutritional content, adding more organic foods, reducing sugar and salt, exercising regularly, and taking my vitamins. I have made it back to my Weight Watchers meeting last week and am ready to go, go, go. I thought this blog could be another way to journal and tract my progress....mostly personal, but if it serves to inspire others to do the same...well, that's just an added bonus.
