New Me....coming shortly.

A long time ago in a land far far away...... ok not so long ago and not so far away. I decided that it was time to get healthy. My grandmother had died due to complications of diabetes, as I morned her loss with a 12pack of cupcakes , not the cake part, the frosting part and a glass of whole milk. We had a family dinner after her funeral that included all of her favorites. I cant remember what we ate, I just know how miserable I felt. I remember needing to go for a short walk to move some of it around, before dessert. It was decided several weeks later as I looked at my daughter, that I did not want that for her.
 Last week I weighed in at the scale and it was up again. So I came home and put it in the computer and it showed I had gone up 4.2lbs in about 3months. Yup that was the end of those 4lbs. I posted the below post after that weigh in. So what did I do different. I kicked my butt, that's what! Yup I lost 1.8 of the above 4 so I still have work to do.
 I have some goals in mind this year. I know I have set dates before, but this year I am in control. This year I am moving more, Living more, and complaining less. It is taking a while to get past some of the issues I created, but it's coming. I'm coming up with some events I want to do. But until then here are my weight goals.
 In May we have some plans, my goal for then is to be able to wear a Tank top and feel comfortable. I will be in the sun and really do not want a repeat tan of last year. (My arms never looked so ridiculous.) What am I doing to achieve said goal? The gym is my friend. I am starting out with 45min of cardio and another 15 of weights, primarily arms and abs. I will be changing that once the weather improves, more cardio outside with the family and more weights at the gym.
 My big goal is August 19. I have a friend getting married in Napa and I want to wear an awesome black dress. I would love it to be a size 10, but don't know what my body will look like and what size I will be, because the second part of this goal means I will be at goal. This means goal by the time I turn 39 as well. Why, because goal weight means the beginning of a life full of maintenance that I would like to start before I turn 40.
 I know to reach the end goal I need to amp up the working out part, but with my work, meetings and family I need to figure that out again. So more to come shortly!
