A new year...why not a new me?

So, we are finally a few weeks into 2012...And I am seriously slacking on the blogs here. I have a few funny stories that I will probably write about in a few upcoming blogs. 
T has been moved up in his class at daycare, and it has been a struggle. He knows a lot of the kids in his new room, but is still having "adjustment" issues...That's what happens when you are in a room for over a year with a lot of the same kids. However, the mornings are the toughest. He always starts it out with "Mommy, I want my friends," and it breaks my heart! We did have a better morning today, though, and I am very thankful for that. What's funny is that when I come pick him up, he isn't ready to go home yet! So, that's a good sign. 
I decided to get "me" under control again. So, I decided to take the semester off, get a new perspective, and make time for me. So, what better way to do that then start working out and watching what I eat? I have a good friend who just opened up a gym...And it isn't your normal run of the mill gym. This one is just you and a trainer in an empty gym all to yourself..No worrying about if you look like a moron, ladies! We can make sure we are doing everything correctly AND even look like an idiot for no one else to see. I love it. And, on the days that I'm not there, I am working out on my lunch hour. When we moved office buildings, we decided to use one of the downstairs spaces as a workout room. There isn't much down there, but there is enough to say I should have started a while ago! 
Since the first of January, I've lost 4 pounds. Not sure if I have lost any inches...We just measured those today (and I wish I had kept my eyes closed and that they could be locked in a file cabinet where not one single person saw them!) I have found a GREAT website/application to use, too---myfitnesspal.com . It is amazing!
I can keep track of my food (and putting it on paper has made a huge change), help encourage friends, and keep track of my workouts (although the calorie burning is not correct). So, hopefully over the next few months, I will be able to see even more of a difference, and who knows, maybe even get more self confidence!!!
