New Year, New Me!

I am proud to say that I am starting out 2009 weighing 60 pounds lighter than I was this time last year! And this year, I plan on continuing my journey to lose another 51 or more pounds, hopefully by summer. It's not going to be easy, though with the health problems I'm currently enduring, but I refuse to give up! Quitting is no longer a word in my vocabulary!

Although I haven't been able to exercise in about a month, I'm still watching what I eat & still managing to lose some weight, although it's coming off a lot slower without exercising right now. I go to a neurosurgeon on January 6th, so I'm hoping to get some answers then. I can't wait to get back into the gym & back on the elliptical & treadmill! Believe it or not, I truly miss working out! So once I get the all clear from my doctor, you can bet I'll be back to busting my butt once again :)

I did the layout above a few months ago about the 12 week biggest loser weight loss competition that I did. I tell ya, it feels so good to be 60 pounds lighter! It took me about 8 months to lose that 60 pounds, but it was so worth it!

Till next time, keep on movin' & Happy New Year :)
