New Year's Eve
Today is the next to the last day of my old way of life. We are going to a Zac Brown Band concert in Atlanta tonight, and tomorrow morning we are going to a brunch at the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta. Then, back home to make grocery lists, figure out when to exercise, etc. I made Rice Krispy treats last night. I guess I am having that over 30 reaction to eating junk food, feeling awful. I don't want this feeling anymore. Kristin, I want you to remember this, FEELING THIS WAY SUCKS! Feeling bloated, indigestion, stomach upset. IT IS NOT WORTH IT! You want to get pregnant, you want to have a healthy baby, therefore, YOU NEED TO BE HEALTHY! Think about this, you want to be around for a long as possible for your child or children, so YOU NEED TO BE HEALTHY! God is going to trust you with these little ones, and you don't know how long you will be on this earth. But, you need to try to be as HEALTHY as possible....I love you, you are worthy, and you are important to the people in your world. I love you too much to let you continue this way. You CAN & WILL CHANGE!

Day after Christmas...
So, it is the day after Christmas. John and I just saw my parents off, it is always so good having them over. I like to do Christmas for our parents, but this year I haven't been in much of the Christmas spirit. I am not sure why. There have been a lot of things going on at work, which has caused me to be a little bit stressed out. We had a great time, don't get me wrong.
Well, we have decided about exercising. Of course, we have to make it a competition. The stakes are whoever does the most exercise gets their prize. Mine is a foot massage, and John's is a back massage, and if we don't exercise at least 4 days a week, that we have to do the chore we hate the least. Mine is doing dishes, and John's is cleaning the bathrooms.
Lately, I have had this goal in mind to run. I've never been much of a person that wanted to necessarily be a "runner." I think I want to do some Zumba, walk, and maybe get into running. I have always had this thought of doing Susan G. Komen's 3 day walk for breast cancer. But, I definitely have to get in shape first.
I am off to relax and clean for a bit. Have a great day, big void!

Christmas Eve
Well, I have decided to start this blog before beginning my weight loss journey. It is Christmas Eve, and everything is stirring at our house. Now, let's get one thing straight. We are NOT starting on our (mine & John's) weight loss journey today.
I have been overweight, chubby, fat, etc. my whole life. I have tried so hard my life to blend in. I learned at a very early age, if you make people laugh, that they will laugh with you, and not at you. So, starting after the new year we are starting a new lifestyle called "Thrive," and exercise (gasp)!
Exercise has never been my favorite pastime, I will honestly admit. I wish it had, I wish I could say that I was one if those uber-active kids, but I was not. I was a Mama's girl who liked to spend time in the kitchen, and a Daddy's girl who was treated like a princess.
So, The next question might be, why now? Why after 31 years on this planet worry with weight? I am generally healthy; cholesterol, blood pressure, all of these are normal. Well, the first answer is that I don't want to be this way anymore. I don't want to blend in, just to save myself from the possibility of getting my feelings hurt. I want John & I to have a long, healthy life in front of us. I want to sit on a plane, and not be uncomfortable. I want to shop in "normal" stores. And, lastly, I want to get pregnant, which losing weight, can help. That is all for now.
ROLL TIDE!
