And so I begin, but not exactly

This isn't really the start of my journey. It started a long time ago but now, at forty, I'm starting again.

In an effort to be supportive of my husband, I joined him in calorie counting. I started on July 19th 2012. Since then I've lost a total of 5lbs. Not much for 20 days of watching everything I put in my mouth but hey, I'm forty, this is probably going to take a long time. My long term goal is lose 130 lbs. I would really like to be there by my son's 3rd birthday. Ideally, my two little kids, S and E, won't ever remember having an obese mom.

I'm not sure what I'm going to use this blog for... maybe just as a journal for myself. I hope to write in here daily, but I will at least write something every week.

It's going to be an uphill battle to get from fat to fabulous, I hope I can do it.

Only time will tell.
