Happy New Year to you all! I hope you’ve had a happy and safe holiday season with your families and friends. I’ve read a lot on social media the past few days. The theme seems to be New Years, but the tones are drastically different. There are the optimistic people making plans and goals for 2014.

I would be lying if I said I have been good on my dieting lately. I went off it for a good 3 months. By went off, I mean I was good for a few days, bad for a few days. I played this back and forth game and it caused me to gain back 10 lbs! Now, I am realizing (especially with a wedding coming up) I need to stick with it. I want to be happy with how I look and feel!
