Got Belly?

I know I know, its the same day but this one deserved its own post. This year 2006, the year of my brothers wedding and my wedding, I have decided to lose some weight. So this special post is to invite whoever else wants to get on the weightloss train to get on! Several of us who will be attending both Paul's wedding and mine have decided to get fit together. We are planning to have several small goal days, and then some larger ones. For example, the first small goal is Valentines day, while the first big goal day is Paul's wedding. I figure days like this will keep me going through the whole year. I know that we all still have some holiday goodies hanging around but if we waited till they were gone then we would wait until Valentines, and then until Easter, and then we would say 'I'll start in the summer'.....until it was gasp 2007. So emotional support is here! Feel free to join us and find yourself a buddy to weigh with and encourage!
For those of you interested in some other online support check out the National Weight Loss Challenge which offers meal plans, exercise advice, and most importantly ecards with talking belly buttons.

January

Hi Everyone! Hope that everyone had as good a Christmas and New Year as I did. Since last posting I have had a much needed vacation. No one has the flu anymore (thank God!). I spent a whole day wedding dress shopping. Still haven't found 'the dress' but had a great time. I got to see lots of family and friends, including Jake and Erin, Jyana, and Jyana's grandparents! I had a really nice time seeing people I don't get to see very often. Anyways now I am getting back in school mode and start class again Monday the 9th. I'll have one week of class and then I am off to Chicago! I am a representative for a student organization for Audiology students and we are having our spring meeting in IL. We generally have our meetings sponsored by various hearing aid companies and this meeting is being sponsored by Phonak, in Warrenville, IL. This is very good news for me since I now will get to see Paul for one day before having to be in meetings! To learn more about the student organization you can check out www.nafda.org I think I may even have a 'bio' somewhere on there under Board Representatives.

Happy 06 everyone!
