New year, new me.

Well it's that time of year again, time for resolutions to be made for the blank slate that is the New Year.  2011 was a pretty good year, nothing spectacular, but not terrible. I did come to find that my body sure ain't what it used to be. After a pretty tramautic fall in October, I found myself not able to do some of the things I used to take for granted, like wiping my butt, yes TMI but it's my blog so suck it up or hit the X up on the right top of the screen LOL! Things have to change, I know it won't be easy, but nothing good ever is.

The majority of my life I have been over weight. Been the butt of my own fat jokes and thought that this was going to be the person I would always be. But I saw something yesterday that totally changed that thought. The simple words... "Don't complain about being fat if your not going to do anything about it." Those simple words struck a chord in me that nothing ever has. Even if scratch that when I lose weight, I'm still Mickey, still the goof ball, still the nurse, still the wife, still the daughter, still the friend, still the mom of the best 14 year old ever. Because losing weight will enable me to be all those things but better and for longer.

So this is my invitation to you, follow me on my journey to a smaller me. It isn't going to be easy, and you may want to look away at times lol, but I assure you it will be interesting to say the least. I hope someday I can inspire others to take this first step.
