And you know what?
That feels WAY better than the weight I'm dragging around!
So, after one week of living healthier, I'm down 2 pounds, and I've broken a sweat (a serious sweatmarksinthepitsanddowntheback sweat) 5 days out of 7.

A Healthier Ann - Day 1
Angie Dunn (uber-cute, talented, inspirational scrapbooker) has started a new blog dedicated to living a healthier life. She has invited us to join, take up the "challenge," and track our progress. We all know I've been down this weight loss journey before. Remember the 75 lbs I lost? Well, 30 decided to come back and visit...and they're staying on my butt.
So, to keep myself honest, I'll be writing about my progress (and certain setbacks--aka chips and salsa) over the next 3 months. The goal? Of course, to get rid of those pesky pounds and eat healthier...maybe drink a little water now and then instead of Diet Coke, but I also plan to make exercise a habit again. It feels good. I stand up a little straighter; I walk with more confidence; I feel like I'm becoming the person I WANT to be, the one my family DESERVES, when I take care of myself.
Plus, I'm gettin' damn tired of sucking it in all the time.

Personal hygiene
PJ's mom: You were really stinky after basketball; did you wash really, really good under your arms?
PJ: Mo-om, I don't have to. I'll just put on more deodorant.
He was then ordered to return to the shower and work on the pits.

Where's Ann?
Working.
Painting the house.
Exercising at the Y, trying to shrink her big a** to it's former (pre-marriage) size. Um...why does that happen?
Working.
Hanging curtain rods.
Cleaning floors (where do dust bunnies come from, anyway, and how do they get so big?).
Missing her wonderful scrapbooking girls (Jackie, Lori, Heather--heeeyyyyy).
Wondering how she's ever going to fit the things she has planned for the summer into the summer.
Hanging pictures.
Missing the coven and the opportunity to hang at Salty's with them.
Working.
Planning her scrapbook room! :)
Being sad about missing Angie's and Heidi's classes at SE.
Thinking that, wow, she's GOT to do a good pedi pretty soon.
Feeling really, really good about the movin' to Tucson decision.
