I mean...does it get better than this?

Meet my family. Chris and I met 14 yrs ago and have been married 7 years. No idea how he puts up with me but I think he secretly loves the craziness.

Teagan is 5 and the most vibrant little girl you can imagine. She has the sweetest heart and the best one-liners. She is full to the brim with excitement for all things Spongebob and anything girly; killer combo.This girl doesn't have a shy bone in her body and thrives on having an audience.

Collin is 2 and is quite the comic. He loves to make us laugh with his silliness and just makes my heart smile. Terrible twos are in full swing but I can't stay mad for too long when he flashes that smile with those chubby cheeks. Melts my heart. So there you go.

Then there's me. I work part-time as a tax analyst and am surrounded by awesome people. Life is good and I'm proud of Chris and our family. They're pretty amazing. I like to cook, clean and garden but hate laundry, baking and  working out. I shop at Target more often than I'd care to admit.

WHAT??

I started a blog, people. A BLOG. Yep, you can follow my life now. I hope you'll join me for the ride that is about to Begin. I'm on a mission to lose weight. I'm sure I'm alone, right? Nope. What makes me different? Absolutely nothing.  I'm using this blog as a journal  to see the progress along my journey and possibly kick my motivation into high gear. If people see me on the internet I'd better get moving, right? There will also be some totally random posts about the kids and hubby for those friends and family that want to see what's going on with the P's. (That's our last name for the blog's sake).   So here it is:

Day 1 - I have decided today is the day. Well, not really today. This past Saturday I decided it's time and I'm ready. Time to stop the madness and start counting points. So I joined Weight Watchers... AGAIN. I've done this program once before and it has done just what it promises to do. How and why did I gain the weight back if it worked so well?  Another post to come on that, my friends. It's up to me to do the work and hold myself accountable but I NEED the support. Sounds like something you would say if you had zero self-control. Anyone who knows me can tell you I don't lack strength. If you've met my mother, grandmother, sisters or just about any woman in my family, you'd know one thing we don't lack is strength. It's not that I'm weak-willed and can't just put down the fork, I just need to gain a healthy perspective of food again. So off to WW I go. I'll post some pictures soon so you can see my "before". You don't even need to wish me luck. I'm on a mission, Baby.
