Resolutions?

I gotta tell you, I wasn't sure why I decided to blog. And I'm not sure if any one really cares to read what I write. 

My New Year started with my typical headache. I've found that headaches are becoming almost the norm for me and that really bothers me. Some time this long 3-day weekend I thought about resolutions... the first being, I need to take better care of myself. So headaches... be gone! I'm calling my doctor and getting a checkup. IF they are not sinus related, I'm asking for a pain specialist referral. 

Now on to the rest of the "taking better care" resolutions. Every year we hear how people make these huge commitments to lose weight, quit smoking, stop drinking, etc... and they last about 3 weeks. *sigh* I've been there done that. The key is support and accountability. I have an online group of friends that have started our annual "shed some weight" discussions. And I've decided to share my journey here too. Maybe, just maybe I'll actually accomplish my goal. :)

I chose to share with you my starting weight of 169 pounds. Scary huh? Scared me when I stepped on that scale this morning. My goal is to shed 24 pounds... that's a lot and I don't expect to do it all this year, knowing how weight is much slower to take off than it was to put on. 

How am I going to do this you ask? I've already been watching what I eat...I'm journaling (sp?) what I take in every day. It helps me stay accountable to myself. I'm walking every day! It's not much, but 4 or 5 laps around the building twice a day... equals about a mile. And I'm moving the Wii Fit to the living room instead of the bedroom. I'm going to commit to at least 3 days a week on the Wii Fit. 

Wish me luck folks!
