Thirty Flirty and Thriving

new beginnings. ahhhhh.....beginnings are wonderful arent they? so many possibilities and hopes and dreams. we all believe we can do it in the beginning. it's all so clear and simple and obvious. we know what we want and how to get there. it's all rainbows and lolly pops...

til you get smacked in the face with the middle. the middle stinks. the middle is hard. its full of questions like "what's so bad about shopping at lane bryant?" and "do i really NEED to go to the gym AGAIN?" the middle gets me every time.

well, every OTHER time that is. i have been at this again for a few months. i currently weighed in at 241.8 lb. and i think i got this. i think i can do this. and i have to do this...because there is something even more scary than the Middle lurking around the corner for me.....

this fall, i....willl.....beee......thirty. 3-ohhhh....30!

and i am determined to be thirty, flirty and THRIVING. i want to lose 30 lb by my 30th birthday! talk about the best present EVER! i dont even celebrate birthdays, but i would put on my party shoes for THAT!
