Good evening healthies,

Well I'm sitting here watching The Biggest Loser and maybe its that I'm turning 32 tomorrow, or that this season of TBL is all about "no excuses" and I've always been full of them but something has struck a chord in me tonight that really has me doing alot of thinking about what my excuses have been in the past and how I have always not done things because I had one excuse after another. I don't feel like it, I have no energy, I have better things to do, nothing's gonna change so why bother, I can't do it etc ~ one after another I've thrown them out there for most of my life, not thinking that I was really damaging myself in the long run. But I see so much of myself in alot of the contestants including a young girl named Megan, who never thought she could do the exercising and eating right because she never felt like she deserved it ~ that's how I've always felt.

Tomorrow is my birthday and I am turning 32 years old, but nothing in my life has changed ~ but its not anyone's fault, its my own. *I* am the one who has essentially done these things to myself and there is no excuse for letting myself go as far as I have. I have to be the one to change what I am doing; its upto me and only me to change my eating habits, my drinking habits, my exercise regimen and my outlook on life. I cannot continue to live the way that I have been living, I can't continue to excuse my laziness and say its okay because its not. That's one thing I've lived behind all of my life which is excuses, and I think there comes a time in life where we need to just throw those excuses out the window and realize that no matter what we don't have to live behind excuses anymore.

It is upto me to change what I don't like about myself, so I am starting tomorrow and with the help/encouragement of my friends here I will be working towards a brand new me!
