Okay....so once again I have started a diet and exercise plan.  Why, oh why do I let myself get overweight and out of shape?  Honestly, I don't make myself a priority.  Couple that with the fact that I just don't like to have to work out or watch what I eat.  Unfortunately for me, I have to diet AND exercise to lose weight...not like some of my friends who can do one or the other and successfully lose weight with ease.  **Audible sigh.**  I guess it's just what I've been given. 

You may be wondering what possessed me to lose weight this time?  Several things.  I feel gross and my clothes (yes, even the "fat" ones) are getting tight.  You know it's a bad sign when you bend over to tie your shoe and get a bloody nose.  Also, I just don't like how I feel about myself.  I feel so out of control.  Well, it's time to take charge.  Nobody else can do this for me (trust me, I checked), so it's go-time. 

I decided to blog about my journey as a way to chronicle my experiences, both good and bad, in the hopes that it will keep me inspired to get the weight off and for once KEEP it off!  If anyone else follows me, great!  Perhaps my struggles and accomplishments will allow others to realize they are not alone, or keep you inspired.  Watch for my daily report of what I am doing and how I am feeling.  Wishing everyone else considering this journey the best of luck!
