Well, I really wasn't sure that I wanted to do this. But after reading a friend's blog for the last few months, I've decided that it's a good idea. For the time being, at least. I have all of these mixed emotions about creating a blog. Part of me feels like I'm subjecting the world to my "issues" and really, who cares about my issues? But the other part of me thinks that if even one person reads this and is either entertained, moved, or inspired, then I've done my job. So I guess we'll see how this whole thing pans out.
I'd like to see this blog turn into a chronicle, of sorts, about my weight loss journey. I've never lost weight before in my life, even though I've been overweight my whole life. Now, I've been on plan for 8 weeks, and I've lost 12.4 pounds. Today I got some pants in the mail (I ordered them... they didn't just show up) that were a size 20, and they fit! And they fit WELL! That's one size smaller than I was when I started the plan. Now, normally, I wouldn't tell anyone other than my husband what size I was. But, since we're operating under anonymity here, I feel kind of okay about sharing it. It's all part of the process, right? So, back to the pants. I bought three pairs, and they all fit and look good. So I went out and bought a pair of shoes to go with them! I'm really big on the rewards. When I lost 10 pounds, I bought myself a yoga beginner's kit. My next goal is to lose 5% of my total body weight, and I should achieve that goal next week. I'm trying to decide on my reward for that loss: a new pair of pumps or a facial. Any ideas?

I am going to get a pedicure on Friday as a reward for myself. You know, with starting the new job and all. Granted no one will be able to see my pedicure but me since it is January. But it will be fun and relaxing while I am getting it done!
