is it better to have lost...

and gained or to have never lost at all? The topic of weight loss is far from original early in January. Everyone is resolving to get in shape, loss the holiday overindulgence, and finally look the way they have always dreamed. Unfortunately, this will be less of a focus for most of us as soon as the heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are exchanged.

I think that being healthy is one of the noblest causes we can work toward, whether it be physically, spiritually or emotionally. I wish that I could say that I fervently work towards each on a daily basis, but that would not be an accurate statement. Enter reason for blog...

In my life, I consider losing 85 lbs doing diet and exercise to be one of my proudest achievements. I did this over years and was derailed by a loss about 1.5 years ago. I have recently become quite unhappy with how I have been looking/feeling and have made strides to get back into a more healthy routine. Today that resolve was made even stronger when pictures of my thinnest, strongest self made their way into my inbox.

Thanks for the encouragement, Mom. I really want to look and feel that way again. Soon.
