So it's been a year since I began this journey on March 5, 2011. All this began because I wanted to make a positive change in my life. At first that meant losing weight, and although that is still a big focus of mine, it has morphed into so much more than that. Somewhere along the way I figured out that losing weight wasn't what was going to make me happy, but the changes I was making were what was going to make me happy. A year later I find myself thirty pounds lighter, living in my dream location, and in general so much happier than I ever could have imagined being for this stage in my life. =)
