Since my last post, I have done a little updating of this blog including the title. Life has changed a lot this past year. In fact, it's probably the biggest change in my entire life. We moved to NJ, both start brand new teaching jobs in the fall, and will have a ONE year old in 3 months. With all of this wonderful change that will hopefully bring our little family closer with more time with each other, I really want to focus on an issue that is constantly on my mind - my weight. I am 30 lbs heavier than I was the day I got married - and I thought I was HUGE then. Tomorrow my journey begins. I am in a "tight" size 16. My small goal for now is that by the time I start teaching on September 4th, I'd like to be back in a size 12. I'm not giving myself a weight goal at this point, but I have tons of size 12 jeans just waiting for me. The ultimate goal is obviously to be in a size 10 by the time I turn 30 on January 12th, 2013. I'm going this route because numbers on a scale are always incredibly disappointing and I'm going to try a new route. Here is the picture that gave me the kick in the ass:
