Let's do this thing

I can be late or I can be early, but never right on time.  When it comes to my resolutions for 2013, I'm a little late.  In the scheme of the year, 8 days ain't bad.  Here's the deal.  I have lots of resolutions: to be nicer, listen more, be patient, use less sarcasm, yadda yadda yadda.  But, those are hard to measure.  Here's what's easy to measure - inches and pounds.  Here's my inches:

 And here's my pounds - 194.9 lbs as of January 7.  This is how much I weighed at 36 weeks pregnant with my daughter.  Yikes.  
To stay motivated, my family and I (or parts of my family - my little brothers aren't in on it, nor are all the in-laws) have started an email and text network.  My sister thought of doing weekly focus points to sort of keep it from being all so overwhelming.  This week's focus: exercise more, hopefully three times a week.  I am getting this post written a little late, but there are still 4 days in the week, so you can still do it!
If you want to follow along, I will be posting here as often as I can.  I will answer all comments - promise!  So, if you need a little inspiration on your journey to a smaller version of yourself, join the fun and get skinny(er).
