New Year - New Me

Every year I resolved to get fit and lose weight. Every year, I still need to do it. Every year, my resolve (and resolutions) go by the way side. This alone, is enough to cause me to give up on my weight loss!

I heard two very powerful things recently:
1) If you make resolutions (most everyone has weight loss related resolutions), you will get closer to your goals (even if you don't achieve them) than if you had not made the resolution at all.
2) Before the new year, I saw a Valerie Bertinelli commercial for Jenny Craig. Valerie stated that this would be the first year weight loss would not be one of her New Year's resolution. I thought this was really powerful. What would your resolutions be if weight loss was already done?

So, in keeping with the goal to "git her done," this will be the last year that weight loss will be a resolution for me. Never again will my weight be so out of control. With my new found free time (after I actually lose the weight), I will have so much time and energy that I will devote more to the real needs of the world.

Starting tomorrow, I am going to journal my successes, failures and desires!
