A year for positive changes!

Welcome to this, my first blog! This year, I turn 36. In the past few years, I have stopped exercising and eating as healthily as I should, and I have gained a substantial amount of weight. As I grow older, I notice the impact of this extra weight on my overall health - physical, emotional and psychological. As my blog progresses, I will explain in greater detail the changes I would like to make and the reasons why I feel I need to make them. As I decide upon and develop my specific goals, I will include them here. I have read that accountability is very important when trying to lose weight: this is my forum of accountability.
