This is the new beginning...

For the past couple months I've been starting to change my life.  Slowly I have been eating healthier and working out.  This has been a huge challenge...there are so many temptations!  The sweets!!!!!!!  I don't know how to avoid them.  Even with the support of my family, it's still hard.  I see a brownie and I want it.  It's hard to realize that I don't need it.  I think I've always felt like after dinner is dessert!  I feel like dinner isn't over until I eat something sweet!  Not even just dinner but any meal.  I had been doing ok until last week when my parents were out of town.  I had the house to myself and plenty of treats and plenty of time to locate the treats!  It makes me nervous to leave my house.  Because with my parents support...and the support of my Trainer (Val)  I have been doing alright.  I'm scared I won't be able to do it on my own.  Laurel suggested I start this Blog, I didn't know if I really wanted to, I felt like it was too public to post all this and didn't know if wanted everyone knowing.  But, I decided some things just weren't working and I think it was partially because I haven't been writing anything down.  Not my feelings, not my calorie intake, not my exercise.  It's time to really be accountable and keep track of this.  So my next post will contain my goals.  My goals for the next few months and the next year.  This is the beginning of a new life for me.  It's going to be so worth it and I'm excited to see the end result!  Welcome to my Journey! :)
