I've made it my hardest days....the 1st four! Now it's onto the 1st weekend on plan. The house is stocked with food for the whole family so we should be set!

I bought myself a new motivation workout piece...a walking vest!! It said while researching that it'll trick my body into thinking it's heavier so I'll be able to increase strength and burn more calories. Have to like that!! Hoping that the scale shows the hard work it takes to lug around an extra 10 pounds. Why does this...

You know, I've never been one for NY Resolutions. I've even written many a rant about why they're a bad idea (in short, many seem borne from the idea that we're just not good enough how we are, and that we have to make a 180 degree turn on a dime to be "okay.")

But I do think they have their place, if done properly. But I like to think of them more as planning for the new year and what I want more of in my life, instead of finding perceived shortcomings. After all, I like...

I've started a 100 Day Challenge in the Challenge Thread, and anyone who wants to join me can certainly do so. My challenge is to stay on plan from January 6, to not stray...

So I stepped on the scale today. I gave my WOE a week before I did it, so I'll add two pounds as a starting weight (factoring what was probably a 2 pound loss in water weight) ... I should have done that a long time ago, but being completely honest, I knew what it was by the clothes I was wearing. So there we go. I'm facing it. Cause and effect. I know the cause, it's time to own the effect.

Well, I think I have the blogs in reasonable shape now. The layout is usable and not bizzare (for me-tell me if it's different for you). Comments seem to be working more consistently, etc. So far, so good.

If you do see anything weird, though, please let me know (here or in the bug thread or however) so I can get you fixed up.

And thanks for being my Beta Testers.
