The title of this entry totally says it all. However, it may not be what you are thinking. I started this blog several weeks ago to help me keep track of things, vent about things and celebrate things as I go through this weightloss journey. How many posts have I entered since then??? Nada. So, yes, in that sense, I am a total slacker.
Here is where things start to turn around though. Just keep reading my blog and you'll see!!!

Today is THE Day...
Well, actually, tomorrow is really THE day, but I thought I would get a jumpstart on my blog posts. Since this is my first post in this blog, I guess I better start off with a little background...
It's pretty obvious (I would hope anyway) what I am trying to accomplish and I thought a blog about it would help me stay on track. This is not really for anyone else in particular and if nobody ever reads it besides myself, well, that's okay. If there is someone out there who just happens to run across my blog and enjoys reading and can maybe even relate to what I am and will be going through the next few months, then, that's perfectly okay, too.
So, "ears" the deal...get it?? "Ears" the deal, as in mouse ears!! I know, silly, but actually kinda cute if you enjoy that sort of humor. Anyway, Husband and I have been married for 14 years as of this past September (2010). For a good portion of our marriage, and especially the last six years, he's worked an odd shift at work, which has basically left me alone (not totally, but for the most part). Add two crazy kids to the mix that are now school age (M is in the 2nd grade and N is in 3-day K4) and all of their activities and what not and what you can sometimes get is a watered-down relationship that leaves me feeling more like a single mom with a husband who really feels more like a roommate. But, enough about that....the point is, we are finally going to be able to go on a real vacation together, sans kids! This is all thanks to my parents (who are the best in the world, by the way) who have agreed to allow our children to stay with them so that we can enjoy our time away. So, of all the places we could pick to go, we chose...DISNEY!!! Were there really any other choices? For us, absolutely not! We are Disney people, plain and simple and only other Disney people would understand this, so if you're reading this and you're not a Disney person, well, there's not much I can say to convince you other than try it...you might be surprised.
The trip is booked and currently being paid for. We are headed to the "Happiest Place on Earth" in January, 2011. Which leads me to my main objective. After looking at pictures from previous trips (we just took the kids in April 2010), I thought, how in the world did I get to this point? I won't go into the actual numbers, but just know that I am not happy and haven't been since the birth of my second child. So, I am determined to lose some of this weight that I really should have gotten rid of a loooooong time ago. My goal would be 15-20 pounds gone by trip time. Doable? I think so. I thought keeping this blog would help me keep track of things, vent my frustrations and celebrate results. This is a journey I've never been on before...have never really had to worry about it until now. So, we'll see what happens.
T minus 13 weeks...here we go, ya'll!!
