I have been going to the beech so much this summer with my kids and actually enjoing it.

I have been actually going into the water and swimming or boogie boarding with them. :smile:

Today I swam out into the ocean as far as I could with my oldest son. I haven't done that since I was a teenager. It was such fun!

I can see that my kids are happy that I am not just sitting on the beach watching them and taking pictures, I'm really out there with them.

I started in a Zumba class back in April. I know that this has given me so much from energy to self confidence. I am up and out and not just sitting around.

I really started focusing in getting back into the right frame of mind on how to use my tool to its potential back in January of this year.

I started by journaling my food and finding blogs that would help me and going back to the doctor.

When I stopped going to the doctor back in November in 2007 I had left at the weight of 198 and thought that I knew what I was doing because I was losing weight.

In January of this year I started at the weight of 205, I am now lower then I was in November of ’07, I'm at 196.

I am so happy that I’m working on this again! :thumbup:
