New Year Resolution

It seems cliche to even do this, but my New Year Resolution is to lose weight. I am not overweight, but I am almost there. When I look in the mirror, I just do not like what I see anymore.....don't worry though I do not have a distorted body image or any type of eating disorder. I just want to be healthy and fit.

Currently, I am 5' 7" and weigh between 145 and 150 pounds. I would like to weigh about 130 pounds, but more than that I want to be able to run without losing my breath after 5 minutes. I want to be able to do a push up properly. I want to be able to lift something that weighs more than 10 pounds. I want to be able to go hiking and not have to stop and rest every time I climb a hill. I may not be overweight, but I am in no way healthy or fit. I eat junk and don't drink nearly enough water.

So....here is the plan. I am getting married in 7 months. So I want to reach my goal by the time of my wedding. I am going to start exercising and eating healthier and I am going to record everything I eat on this blog for the world to see.  So...I am going to enjoy my last few days of slothfulness and then let the transformation begin.

This is the before....in 7 months I will post the after :)

The good news is that my fiance and I are both trying to get healthy along with my sister, parents, and brother-in-law. So at least I have a support group.
