Trying something new

<p>Today i joined weight watchers online. I wanted a little extra something to help keep me on track and people rave about their success using this program so i finally took the plunge and joined. A few years ago I joined the south beach diet site, and while it reminds me a lot of the weight watchers site, the food was awful on that program. I like the idea of eating what I want but but just being aware of WHAT I'm putting in my body. We'll see how it goes,  wish me luck.

First day of 2012 - new and improved?

I'm trying to start myself out on the right foot this year. My big goal I really really want to accomplish this year is getting myself back into shape and losing some serious pounds. I also want to become a runner, which I think I mentioned in my blog the other day. Well, today I took the first step towards both of those goals. I registered (with trish!) For a 5k on March 30th. There's no turning back now. I think I needed to register so I had something I have to work towards, to train for. Tomorrow starts training. I'm really nervous I won't be able to get myself into the shape I need to but I've got 89 days ...plenty of time.  I'm excited to start this new chapter in my life and I'm glad to have a friend on the journey with me!
