This is the first New Years I can remember where I don't feel like I failed myself the year before. It's so nice starting a fresh year feeling good about what I've accomplished and where I am. In 2014 I get to continue tweaking what is working for me and make it all even better. To those of you beginning your journey, know that sometimes it will suck and be a royal pain in the butt, but in the end will be worth it 10000x's over. To those of you further out, keep rocking it! It's never too late to take control four lives, even with a bad day, or week, we can always get up tomorrow and start fresh.

Yes it's nice not starting a year with a resolution to "finally" start losing some weight. I feel a sense of hope going into the new year that I never used to have. Like actual hope that every year can be better than the year before....rather than worse.

Hope is an amazing thing to have....I hate that we ever lost it!

Here's to a year full of laughs, accomplishments and new things!

Hey everyone, please keep our friend (Southern Soul )in our prayers she lost her husband in a horrible house fire, a few words of encouragement can go a long way. She was just beginning her new life since her surgery in May &now devastated with this loss down in Georgia area.her heart is very heavy right now...

For once my New Year's resolutions don't just consist of weight loss related items. Nice to know I am already on the right track with that and can focus on other areas I would like to improve.
