I don’t normally do New Years Resolutions. I don’t find them that useful but this year I am going to because I need to make a new commitment to myself.

I have been a very fit person most of my life. My weight has fluctuated some but mostly I have been a fit and healthy person. And it may be a surprise to some because yes, I did just run a marathon but I am overweight for my height. I need to lose weight to be healthy again and I need to lose weight to be happy and comfortable in my own skin again.

So I am going to be one of those people who make a commitment to getting fit and healthy in the new year. But more importantly, I am going to remain so. This isn’t just going to be a 6 week thing and then I will forget about it. This is going to be a new lifestyle for me and I really am looking forward to the challenge.

20 lbs to go.
