Purpose of this blog

I have started this blog on January 1, 2014 so I can start being accountable for the things I say I am going to do.  I want to create a blog that will be honest and raw in how each day goes.  I want to share recipes that are easy and healthy so other moms can join in on my weight loss journey.  I have a husband and son who like myself are overweight and unhealthy.  I want to spend each day of the next year getting each of us healthy while helping my daughter to remain healthy.  I want to create a log of the exercise we do each day as well as periodic weigh-ins.  I do not think of this as a diet but as a new way of life.  Part of my journey comes with also rebuilding relationships with old friends and family members.  Life is precious and full of many surprises.  I want my eyes to be wide open as each of those surprises comes my way.  I want to spend this year scrap booking, cooking, and laughing with the people that mean the most to me.  I need to remember that having a dirty house is not the end of the world.  I need to have my door open even if I think it's too dirty to invite friends over.  Those that really love me will not judge me.  I need to surround myself with those people who love me and understand how much I love them.  If you are reading this blog, I hope you will take the time to be part of this wonderful journey I am embarking upon.  Life is short and should be filled with only wonderful memories.  I welcome you to make some memories with me in this next upcoming year.
