The First Month

The first month of a new year brings many different feelings.

- Excitement

- Anxiety

- Joy

-Fear

This year however seems to have these feelings typified much more. 2012 is the year I will graduate from University, make some important decisions about the upcoming years in my life and stand up for my big sister in her wedding as her maid-of-honor.

The years leading up to this year has brought me many twists and turns and since university it has also meant quite a few pounds have been added onto my waist line, and a disease has been added to my medical alert (Rheumatoid Arthritis).

So I have resolved to keep myself motivated, get myself through this year, and lose a little bit of weight along the way. There are some rules when it comes to my weight loss:

- no chocolate until Valentines

- no cookies

- no junk food

- no french fries or other yummy deep fried foods

- lots of water

- lots of green tea

- lots of flaxseed

- and lots of positive energy.

Updates to follow.
