Happy New Year!

Okay, so it's the first day of 2008 and I'm ready to start something new. Last year I began a weight loss journey that has resulted in the loss of 58 unnecessary pounds. Just 10-15 more - I can see my goal in the distance. This year, I'm trying to prepare myself for a myriad of changes in my life. My daughters are growing up and I'm not ready for that yet! I'm going to use this blog to track my continued exercise/eating right/weight loss progress. I'll also be using it as an outlet for any stress that I, being a high-anxiety person who doesn't open up well, might be facing. I don't handle stress especially effectively, and I have a very hard time allowing anyone else to know what I'm really feeling, so this is a big step for me. Hopefully I'll improve myself emotionally as well as physically! :)
