WOW! ok, I know it has taken me awhile to write this…

Today I am inspired by someone on Twitter that I NEED to keep it real with you all!

This past year has seen me through A LOT of changes…not all of which I will go into here, but here are are few:

• the loss of a job
• moving from NC to parents house in MI
• and most recently a move from MI to NM with sis who is starting a great new job here

This is NOT an excuse…I know that I have not made good choices a lot of the time. I did manage to keep up with exercise for a good deal of the time while in MI. (thanks to challenges and you all, those were some good times)

Man, what I can I say about my winter in MI – I think that’s really when the denial started. It’s easy to put on weight and not think about it as much when you are constantly in PJ’s or sweats working from home. 😉 Yes, that was me!!

Bottom line and NOW to get serious! I have put on 40 lbs since my lowest weight of 158ish. GRRR Yes, that is right! I am now just shy of 200 lbs at 198.

I know why and how…I know the changes to be made AND I hope and pray that I am truly learning from this experience as I do NOT want to be someone that gains back 100+ lbs!!

Moving to Albuquerque has been such a wonderful surprise to me! If you read my blog, you know how much I fell in love with biking. Well, I am in bicycling heaven here! Trails galore and a climate to match!

Sis’s apartment has a great gym and pool! (Would you believe that ALL of the cardio machines have their own TV’s  AND we are choosing to NOT have TV in our apt here?!) I joke that I will be on the treadmill at night JUST to watch ridiculous TV! LOL

Whew…load off my chest – thanks for listening and the support!! YOU all rock! 😉

P.S. I am thinking a new challenge is in order – probably will involve cardio goals that will be personal to all. Any takers? Stay tuned….
