Here We Go!

Well tonight was certainly a wake up call for me. I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting and found out that I weigh 226lbs. Yep I'm NOT kidding. I weighed this when I had my twins. Yes I'm NOT kidding. It was a very crowded meeting but next week should be worse. I have a bag full of information to sort through. My blood pressure is high for the first time in my life and I really look a lot older than I am. I turned 45 in December and I want my 46th birthday to be a time of celebration. A celebration of health and fitness and activity with my family and friends.

I was encouraged by my sister-in-laws weight loss, my step-mothers weight loss and my friends who are currently on this journey. I'm certain I will have a great weight loss my first week with God's help and my commitment to be successful. I will take a picture tomorrow and post this to the blog for the "BEFORE" and unfortunately there is a whole host of pictures from Christmas.

Happy NEW YEAR Dawna
