Diet and Goalsetting

I've finally gotten serious and decided to do something about my weight.  This is only ONE of the New Year's resolutions that I've made but, in addition to my weight, I've added the whole health issue to the pot.  I've decided to give myself a goal...why not!  Make a game of it!  The dearly beloved hubby and I would like to go to Australia so I have 2 years to get my poop in a group, so to speak.  

I have a weight-loss buddy at work, Bev, who has decided we should do this together.  She's drug her sweet husband (the mild-mannered Gary) into our efforts as she's decided it would do him some good too. (They just got back from a cruise and - well, you can guess the results.)

My buddy Bev works in the Cancer Clinic here so has access to a really scookum scale that tells us more about our weight loss than even God could. We get the bad news on Tuesdays in Kilos - which really sounds a lot better than pounds, until you convert it and reality sets in!  We started a week ago and, so far, so good!

I've been battling the bulge since I was pregnant with my daughter.  Genetics are against me but I've had it off before - it will happen again.  Wish me luck, my friends.

I've been using this application to track my results.  So far I'm liking it!
