January 1 2008 **Tuesday**

You will achieve your goal.  I just started a new job on Thursday>  I have had several interviews in the past year and did not get the job.  I am sure the weight was the reason why.  I am now 80 pounds lightler and have a new job.  My year is starting off great.  My goal is 40 pounds more in the next 6 months. HAPPY NEW YEAR Hugs Deborah

Happy New Year!!  I am so excited about this new year...my surgery date is three months from tomorrow and I am excited!!! I hope to be 75-80 pounds lighter by the end of 2008...I would LOVE to be at goal, but I'm going to focus on the first 75 for now.  I'm looking forward to having more energy and chasing my daughters around the backyard this summer, and I'm looking forward to getting to know more of you!!

Hope everybody had a great new years.  Mine was pretty good except for the fact that tomorrow I send off my husband.  As far as a new year resolution, well I hope to have my last 40 pounds gone but my biggest wish is to make sure my husband gets home safely.  After today I think that I should make getting a tread mill, stair stepper, or something before winter is done a resolution too.  In the last few 4 days, 3 of them I have walked 3 miles in a hour and today was not a fun day to do it in weather. I dont even think it was 20 degrees out, snowing, and blowing.  Oh my did I freeze to death lol but I got my 3 miles in thats what matters to me. Well hope everybody has a nice rest of the evening.
