Yes I don’t like to make New Year’s resolutions. I guess because I don’t see why the beginning of a year should be any different then say March or August 21st. I guess it is the “beginning” so with it we like to promise to make changes. Despite my usual MO of not making resolutions this year I am. Not only that but it is your typical and traditional resolution. My health and weight loss journey needs to be re-vamped and is long over due.
When I started my blog in June 2010 I was already on my weight loss journey, in fact by the time I introduced myself I had lost 26 pounds. Through the following months I lost an additional 18 pounds for a total lost of 44 pounds. I gained back about 5 of those and stayed steady at a 39 weight loss for a good year. However sadly I have gained back 18 of those 39 pounds and I’m slowly creeping up further.
This week off has not helped at all. My husband and I have both decided this year will be the year of “health”. We both have personal goals of weight loss and exercise and plan to achieve them. I’m not committing to a weekly update or any specific update for that matter but as I begin to get in shape and get on track you may see more and more about my progress, my health, and my weight loss as I tend to write about what is going on.
My goal this year is to lose approx 45 lbs. I know it is a lot and the though of that number is hard for me to swallow when I was so close before. So here is to a another great year for the Shibley’s in 2012.
Do you have any New Year’s Resolutions?

Happy New Year to you! Good luck with your weight loss goal. My resolution is to not complain.
