Wow, 18 months with no posts.  I wish I could say it was because I have been so good I have not had time to blog, but that is just not the case.  Last February my brother passed away.  He had a 3 month old daughter at the time and I took her in.  For the past 18 months, I have been a single mom to 2 kids while continuing to deal with work, home, social service, DCFS, court dates and of course my own screw ups (a DUI).  Needless to say- I have not melted anymore.  In fact I have gained.  Last Sunday I decided that enough was enough- I was up to 227.  So, looking at it, my long term goal is still there and I need to get to work on it. This week I lost 2.6 lbs of the weight I had gained- Monday mornings weigh in has me at 224.4.   My birthday is in 17 days and I would like to lose at least 5 lbs before then.

So, my goals for this week are:
#1- work out at least 3 times this week (should be good there, I'm doing a 5K Saturday)
#2- blog at least 3 times to keep myself accountable
#3- drink at least 80 oz water per day

OK, so now that I have put it down on paper (cyber paper is still paper- LOL) it is time to get to work.  So, off I fly until next time.
