I hope you all had a great Christmas. This past month, I have taken a bit of a break from blogging. Christmas time is always very hectic for us. Between multiple family, work and friend get-togethers, we still had to work and keep the house up. Adulting is hard.

I have been bouncing between 405 and 415 for more than a month. It seems my body is comfortable at this weight and activity level. I am fine with that. I can buy clothes at a store, not just online. I am really active and flexible. I am happy, healthy and hopeful. However, I would like to lose 50 to 100 more pounds. But I have to remember the number on the scale means nothing if I am miserable.
I have always lived my life trying to do as much as I can for others. My family, my husband, my friends. But 2015 was the year of Me. It was the year I came out of my depression and started enjoying life again. I didn't even know how depressed I was. 2015 wasn't all about my weight loss. 100 lbs is no small feat, but the year was also about self awareness, self love and self confidence. In short, I feel incredible.

I have met so many people in the last year that have lifted me up and supported me. I have made friends locally and across the US in what I call my "Fat Chat". I have also had family and friends send me messages and tell me personally how great I am doing. It makes me incredibly proud of myself. My blog has gotten so many more followers and I am thankful for each and every person who reads this. Recently my blog was shared on a weight loss website, across Facebook and Twitter. It's amazing. I hope I inspire some of you to get healthier. I know I am inspired by you all.
This is Christmas 2014 and Christmas 2015.
I am not one for New Years resolutions so I am just going to state a few things for 2016:
#1-I want to continue eating healthy and tracking my calories.
#2-I want to continue my exercise habits by working out at least 3 days a week.
#3-I want to strengthen my relationship with Roger.
#4-I want to continue to save money for our futures.
#5-I want to be a better friend by making more time to visit people.
#6-More craft and food blogs, less weight loss blogs.
What are your hopes for 2016? Will you be joining me on my journey?
Congratulations on your new year resolutin! Thank you for sharing. I personally have been battling with my weight all my life, even as a teenager I was always a little on the chubby side. But as an adult things changed for worse as I gained even more pounds particularly after my first pregnancy. However lately I have lost nearly 35 lbs, after a friend of mine shared a weight-loss newsletter from a diet coach with me, therefore with the intention to give back here is a link to the free newsletter for all women: http://bit.ly/1kxNYvM
