Let's give this another shot...

Lets try this again….

This will be the 4th time or so that I have tried to start a blog. I always start it with good intentions but I think I get side tracked with my crazy busy life and easily forget about it. With the new year I decided to make some changes in my life. I don’t like to call the resolutions. I have never really been one to make new year’s resolutions. I am not sure what it is about the new year that makes people want to start fresh. What changes between December 31st and Jan 1st? I would think resolutions are better made on your birthday…you are getting a year older and presumably a year smarter and more mature.
With the end of 2011 came a big change for Jason and I. In October we were forced to move out of or rental home because it was being foreclosed on. WTH!!! Crazy right? Well out much better for us. We had to live with my parents for a month while we searched for a house. On a side note…all of this happened during football season which meant I had to pack the house and house search without Jason. It was pretty stressful but it all worked out in the end. We got a beautiful house in our price range that is only a little over a year old and has all of the upgrades. Life seems much easier now that we have our own house. I am not sure what the difference is between and the rental house but we both seem to be sleeping better and are in better moods. I will post pictures and more about the house later.
I have two goals this year…I don’t like to call them resolutions because those never seem to work out. These are really life style changes. What many people don’t know if that Jason and I have been trying to have a baby for about 2 years now. In December we started fertility treatments. My doctor is confident they will work. We shall see. I will post more about our journey and the fertility treatments later. So my first goal for the year is to get pregnant. I know there isn’t a whole like I can do about it. It will either happen or it won’t but Jason and I are doing everything we can to help the medicine along. My second goal for the year is to lose weight and not just a few pounds a significant amount…not all this year per say but I do want to make a big dent. Now if we achieve goal 1 then goal 2 will be hindered but I am ok with that.
Hopefully this blog with give me an outlet for all of my thoughts and a place to keep me honest on my weight loss goals. Hopefully I can keep it updated!
