Today is the first day ...

of the rest of my new life. Seriously.

I've been on this diet and 'do better' roller coaster for damn too long and it's time I stopped with the procrastinating and actually put some effort into me!

After smoking nearly 18 years, I stopped for 4 and have yet again, started approx 6 months ago. :( Stress is my only excuse for my weakness honestly.

My weight has been up and down for a few years now, hitting my all time high of 175lbs. It's embarrassing and uncomfortable to say the least.

I'm currently in school again (at 37!) taking Nursing, and already have a full-time job pending my course completion. But c'mon ... to be in health care, overweight and a smoker ... seems rather contradicting in my opinion.

Anyway, time to get with the program ... focus on my health, spend more time with my 3 teen-aged sons, etc.

Here goes!

Best of luck to you, lady! I admire you going back to school. I've been pondering it myself lately, but I've yet to make the actual leap. Procrastination and self-doubt, you know? Lethal combination! Blog often and get involved in the weight loss community and you'll be amazed at how inspiring it can be!

I too made the dumb descision to smoke again too after many years and now I also have two hurdles to conquer! Dont worry, stay focused and keep the faith.
