Hello Blogger!

I'm back! Boy, I love blogger. So much better than WordPress. I feel so much more comfortable with this template, and I think it's going to help me keep my goal.

So, what's the goal? Well, my blog is called "A Year of Change" for a reason. I've done 2 blogs in the past year: Following Weight started April 10 and ended August 31 with 144 posts; and If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. that was started on September 1, and ended yesterday, December 31 with 100 posts. Neither one was a consistent blog. Just a blog. I want to make this blog consistent. Like, today, is January 1. I want to finish this blog on December 31 and have 365 posts. That is the goal. My first blog was full on weight loss tracking, my second one not so much. I want to combine the two and make it awesome.

I've also made some New Year's Resolutions. Who doesn't? Here are mine for this year:

1. Get a new job! I'm so sick of my job. It's not that it's a bad job, it's just really not for me, and I need to change it in order to stick with resolution 2.

2. Lose weight. I started 2010 at 210 pounds. I ended it at 187.5 pounds. That's a 22 pound weight loss! But, my goal is to be at 145 by the end of this year. That means I want to lose 42.5 pounds this year, which is almost double of what I lost last year. But, I think I can do it. I need to focus more.

3. Use my food journal. I bought a 2011 planner, and I want to start writing down everything I eat, and tracking my workouts, so that I can get back on track. I did the best when I was tracking everything. It gets very tiring, but I need to do it.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog, and keeping up with me! I think I'm going to enjoy writing this blog!
