Like many people in this world, I have struggled with my weight. For the past five years my weight has gone up and down and I have resolved to make a healthy change. I have decided that if I want to enjoy life to the fullest, then I need to create healthy habits that will keep me happy with my life and my body!
So... a month from today Jackie and I will be leaving for our trip to North Dakota and I have made a goal of losing 20 pounds by then. I ultimately want to lose approximately 50 pounds, but I figured I needed to start with baby steps and then go from there. Two weekends ago, Jackie and I were able to find a treadmill at a garage sale. I have been wanting one for months and we finally were able to find one that would not put a huge dent in our budget. I plan on using the treadmill as my main form of exercise and hope to see the results I am looking for. I have taken a before picture and was going to post it with this post, but decided that waiting until I have an after picture just might be a little better time to share. :)
Wish me luck!!!

Life
It seems like forever since I last put anything up and I have wanted to for a while, but sometimes I can be a little OCD about things and so I have been postponing posting anything because I wanted the events to be in order of when they happened. I finally realized that if I waited to post again until I actually sat down at my computer at home and uploaded the pictures I wanted to use, I would never make another post. :) My semester of school is over and I am extremely excited to have a little break before I take on my final semester of my Bachelor's Degree. It will have taken me a full 10 years to complete my degree, but I figure that I at least finished and that is the biggest accomplishment. If it took me longer than most people, oh well... I did it and I have to be proud of myself for that. I will be the 3rd person in my family to achieve this accomplishment and for that I am extremely proud of myself. I will let everyone know when I will be actually walking. I know it won't be until May of 2009, but as it gets closer I will update the exact date.
Jackie and I will be heading to North Dakota at the end of July for her nephew's wedding. We are excited to have the opportunity to go back for another family visit, but more importantly, we are extremely excited to share our road trip to North Dakota with her sister Mary and Mary's youngest daughter Karmen. Mary and Karmen will be coming out to California for a couple weeks as a graduation gift for Karmen (I think ?) and we are thrilled to have them come! It will be nice to have the time to better get to know Mary and Karmen (as I have not had the opportunity to visit with either one of them much) as well as for Jackie to spend some quality time with her sister and niece. :)
