A New Year!!!

Happy New Year, my friends!!!

I don't know about you, but the new year makes me feel fantastic and excited to see what God has in store for me and for my loved ones in the coming year!

That having been said, how did you all navigate the holidays??? You heard my tale of whoa and my holiday eating hangover, but I am happy to say that after Christmas, I was able to stop the madness and get on track again! It's amazing how much tracking (writing down or in some way recording) what I was eating really helps me keep it under control!

I use the eTools app by Weight Watchers (and I absolutely recommend it to everyone!!) But don't feel like you HAVE to be computer savvy to track your progress! Just keeping tabs on what you are eating can really help!

I can't help but think of my New Year's Resolution in 2010: to lose weight. I joined Weight Watchers, and 80 lbs. later, the rest is history!

What is your new year's resolution? What would you like to see happen in 2012?

God bless you all in this coming year.

  1. You have been an inspiration to me with your weight loss, and are the reason I started back on WW. 50 lbs later (well, not quite 50,now, because of my out of control holiday eating:( ) But my resolution this year is to finally meet my WW goal. I am so close. I need to just finish it off!!! Happy New Year, my dear. You are an encouragement to many!

    Love,
    Mom

  2. Dridge, you are also an inspiration to me. I look at your pictures all the time (in a non-stalkerish kind of way) and tell myself that I can do it too. My resolution is
    1. Meet my goal weight (i'm not too far)
    2. Be active 3-5 days per week
    3. Eventually work my way up to working out early before work.

    Thank you for writing this blog. People do read, care, and are inspired by your awesome effort. And your love for God is amazing, and always wonderful to read about too.
