This is my first time blogging, and I'm so excited!  I've joined the News-Herald Lighten Up in 2014 to be held accountable.  What could be more public than having your name, picture and WEIGHT in the newspaper??  I've had 2nd, 3rd and even 4th thoughts about this, but I'm very glad I signed up.  I've actually been doing pretty good for the last week, although this officially started as of yesterday.  I started on my treadmill, I'm planning on going to Zumba tomorrow as well.  Physically, it's a little tough for me as I've had back and neck surgery in the past which haven't healed exactly the way I would have wished, but no excuses, I'm doing this!  

Goals - 10 pounds per month and work up from 20 minutes on the treadmill to 40 minutes by the end of the first month.  

I'll let you know how I do!!
