The New Year and The New Me

I decided as one of my resolutions this year is to pick something to blog about and try to do it for a year. So, since this year will be my 50th birthday, I decided that this would be a perfect topic to talk about.

I can't believe that I am approaching 50 this September! I certainly don't feel that old. The time has flown by fast!

This year before I turn 50 I need to do some self help. I've gained a lot of weight over the years and have not done anything about it. Ive lost my mother and my fatherinlaw and realize that if I want to stay around to watch my children grow and perhaps see their children I need to do something now. Ive tried several diets, gyms etc with no luck.

I've decided to get weightloss surgery. Yes, I know some of you may think this is the easy way out but believe me the road after the surgery is anything but easy. Ive been trying to get approved for the surgery for over a year now and lets hope that im close to the approval. Today I visit my Dr. and then  I only have one more visit next month before we can try and ask for approval again. Its been 6 months! I dont think this next month will go fast enough for me.

Once I get my weight under control, I then can rejoin life and start living again. There are so many things I want to do again.


Every year I make resolutions and never follow through. This year I'm hopefull that I can complete some of them.

2011 Resolutions List

-Pick a topic and blog about it for a year (On my way with this one!)
-Pay down credit cards
-Train my dog to do more Tricks
-Certify my dog as a Therapy Dog
-Wear makeup and Fix my hair when I leave the house
-weightloss

I know this doesn't sound like an abitious list, but lets face it, most of us never finish what we resolve to do anyway. I tried to scale my list to things that I actually could achieve.

Thanks for sharing this journey with me and Ill blog again soon-
