New Year, New Life

2012 UPDATE----HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2011 was a great year that saw me lose 25 lbs. I didn't quite make my goal of 140 lbs by Oct 17th, but I'm ok with that. I still have just over 10 lbs to go to get to goal and I will accomplish that before summer. I am much healthier than I was this time last year and that's what counts. My son is returning to college to get his Bachelors Degree in Accounting with a minor in Creative Writing. We have been on this weight loss/get healthy journey together ...

My son is returning to college to get his Bachelors Degree in Accounting with a minor in Creative Writing. We have been on this weight loss/get healthy journey together this past year and that's made it much easier. I'm looking forward to 2012 and all the great things it's bringing.

Hi. My name is Debbie. I'm a 56 year old single mom of an amazing 23 year old son who graduated college in March 2011 with an Associate Degree in Accounting and is now a published author. Now that he's grown (and hopefully gainfully employed soon), it's my turn. Most of my life has been spent taking care of everyone else but me. I've finally realized if I don't take care of me, I can't be there for anyone else. After an emotionally devasting 2010, I'm ready to start fresh and built a new and better life. 2011 is my year to become healthy, strong and alive!!!!

I couldn't do a minute on my elliptical when I first got it. I did a minute and rested and then another minute and rested, until I got in 10 minute. Then after a week, I would try to do two minutes at a time before resting. I go about the pace of a walk or maybe a bit faster.

If anything begins to hurt, stop.

ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time,
add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."

"My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no one's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny."
