Day 3

Didn't feel up to it at all, but thank goodness, I had enough nerve to ask my neighbor to go walking with me last week..Today was our third day going together, She is really nice. Her daughter and my daughter met a few weeks ago and have been playing together every day...My neighbor (Trish) was a big help today, because after cleaning my house and chasing my toddler all day, I was not up for our 3.2 mile walk. Yes, 3.2!!But, we went and I felt wonderful afterwards. Tomorrow another neighbor that has been noticing us walking , wants to join. I think that is AWESOME~!!! I ate very good today, no sodas or sweets, just fruits and veggies.I would also add that today was my 5th day in a row walking and my body feels so much stronger..I'm sure I lost a pound or two, but im going to weigh in on Wed. over at Amber's, EM: Edition..

My Lil Black Dress ...

My blog's purpose

I have a Size 10, "Lil Black Dress" that has been in my closet for the last ten years. Well actually it was in my moms closet for a few of those 10 years...

I got the dress back from my mom about 3 years ago, while looking for something to wear to a funeral, my mom told me that she had a old black dress of mines , that might fit and to come over and try it on...

Well, what a surprise .... not only was it too small... but to make matters worst .. it would not go over my breast. I could not even get a arm in the dress... The waist of the dress appears to be half the size of my waist now.

My mom and I had fun laughing at how I've totally out grew this dress over the years. I told her that I was going to take the dress home, she tried to convince me to give it away, but I explained that one day I was going to fit into it.. I can still hear her words...

" YOU WILL NEVER FIT INTO THIS DRESS AGAIN...

now, my mom is really sweet and encouraging...

Well, for the past two or three years since my mom and I had the "Lil Black dress moment" the dress has remain tucked in the back of my closet and I've gained more and more weight...

However as of 04/02/2009, I am on a mission to reclaim my life, my body, my energy level, my weight and my overall health and get serious about my dream to fit back into my Size 10 "Lil black dress" ...

So I created this blog to document my journey to be a healthier me. One day in the near future I plan to post a picture of me in my "Lil Black Dress..
