A new year, a new beginning

Today is my 36th birthday.  For some reason this birthday was kinda bummed me out.  30?  Loved it!  35?  No big deal.  So why the random 36?  I think because I am no longer in my mid-30's.  Now it's my late 30's.  Silly, I know.  But, this birthday has got me thinking about my life and changes I'd like to make. 
For as long as I can remember I have struggled with my weight.  I finally was getting a hang of it before Tom and I started dating.  I swore, up and down, that I would not go back to where I was before.  That I would keep the weight off.  Yeah.... that so did not happen.  Here I sit, way too close to my highest weight.  Grr!  How did I let this happen?  I am so annoyed and frustrated with myself.  So, I have decided it is time to make some changes.  It will not be easy, this I know.  But it is possible... if I work at it.  I will cut back on soda, I will eat less sweets, I will exercise more, I will eat more fruits and veggies.  I will look like this again!
Or maybe even better!  I will post updates on my progress. (Gotta have accountability, right?!)

I'm sure it's my fault... I corrupted you with the tantalizing Cherry Coke and irresitible milk chocolate. But let's be honest... you still look that beautiful. I love you! Happy 36th! XOXOXOXO!

Happy birthday! Sorry I am late and didn't text you. This post makes me miss you so much, probably because I remember all the walking you would do when we lived together and how sometimes I forced you to let me come with you;) And Tom is right, you still look that beautiful, if not even more! You are amazing, just remember that!!!!

33 is looming ahead of me...and I'm not liking it...mostly because my body is really struggling and I don't like feeling like I am old...which I'm not. I hope this coming year is good to you and no matter if you lose the weight or not, you are beautiful in and out!
