I wrote that in January of 2008. Fast forward to today, January 2011. When I started Sparking I steadily dropped down from 203 to about 165 with lots of ups and downs along the way. In 2010 I hit a plateau. A loooonnnnggggg plateau. Several months went by and I got frustrated. It came to fall of 2010 and I'd put on about 10 lbs and life got really busy. I had too many balls in the air and I dropped one. Me. I put on another 10. And here we are today. Starting a new year with new support systems in place. I'm nervous for some reason. That's different than the resolve that I had starting in 2008. I find that nervousness scary. All I can do now is take it slow and steady.
