Dippidy-doo!

Well, my oldest daughter turned 10 last Thursday! We had her family party on Sunday. We have a way of stretching out birthday celebrations for at least 5 days. I actually think it’s pretty cool. Why not? You only have ONE birthday a year…

So, Wednesday we took Kate shopping at the mall for new clothes, Thursday she took home-made cupcakes to school to celebrate and that evening her dad gave her a pair of diamond earrings (lucky girl!), Friday we took her out to California Pizza Kitchen, Saturday I don’t think we did anything, but Sunday was her family party. Needless to say it was one carb-fest after another.

For the past three weeks my mom and I have been walking at least 45 minutes three days a week and working out on the Total Gym and the Gazelle Glider at least 5 days a week. I’m toning up but not noticing any significant weight loss. Tuesday of this week I was researching online and came across a website that really struck a chord with me. It was then that I decided to get really serious about losing weight… that’s right, I’m going on a diet.

Yippee.

So, I’ve got goals, I’ve got a plan and I’ve got a weight-loss blog. Feel free to join me on my dieting adventure!

I thought it would give me a way to make myself accountable… wish me luck.
