HAPPY BRITHDAY!

Last night I got a phone call asking if I would like to join in a birthday dinner celebration.  Now I was in the middle of fixing dinner, so I opted to join in for dessert and wine.  I know this does not really fit into the whole "health" thing I am working on, but who can turn down a birthday celebration. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET FRIEND LORI!

Even though I had an amazing slice of Lemon Cream Cake from Olive Garden and a glass of red wine I did have a health dinner at home prior to meeting the girls.  I made a Hormel Pork Roast in the crock pot with some potatoes and corn.  I must say that was my first time to ever have Pork Roast and I am now a huge fan.

Also, on a quick exercise note, I did go for a run before work with my cousin to start the day out.  Also, I laughed a lot during dinner, so I will count that as birthday exercise.

Start of my Journey!

I have several friends who blog and one in particular Tiffany (check her blog out here: http://tiffanyd22.blogspot.com) who tell me daily I should start one.  So, with that said I have decided to start a life journey blog.

I have spent 90% of my life overweight, however I have never let that get me down or stop me from accomplishing my goals.  I have also spend 90% of my life loosing my weight and gaining it back.  I have always loved sports, played in high school, and have taken on running as an adult.  I am going to fix this all and start a new life.  One where fried food is not the norm and candy is a small treat. 

I'm sure I will make my mistakes along the way, however hopefully this outlet will help me dust that mistake off and move on.  I tend to go full force do great and then have one bad day and it's all down hill from there for the next month.

I am officially putting in writing my goals to be accomplished throughout the next 12 months:

• Run a Half Marathon with my sweet cousin BB
• Loose 2 pant sizes
• Honestly Say I am happy with my lifestyle
