Journey to 40

I had my 35th birthday at the end of November and I guess you could say I had an “awakening” at that time too.  Where am I going with my weight?  No where but up I say.  Like many I have tried almost every diet under the sun to get my weight under control.  I could probably be a millionaire for all of the money I have spent.  I cannot believe all of the “yo-yoing” I have been doing on the scale.  I am actually about 25 pounds heavier than I was this time last year!  Yep you heard me correct 25 pounds!!!.  How could I let this happen?  I vowed never to go over the 200 pound mark yet here I am again sitting at that mark.

Alas, the reason for my blog.  I need to get my weight under control.  I am not looking for a fast fix I am looking for something sustainable and for life.  This time it has to stick.  I have a 2.5 year old son I need to set an example for and most importantly ensure that I am here to see him grow.  He is the most important thing in my life.  I need to do this for me and for him.

This blog will chronicle my journey to slimming my way to 40!
