Some of you may know that I’m a huge fan of LOST (thanks to Katie).  If you don’t, you do now.  I was sitting here trying to figure out a quick way to blog about the month of December as I know I don’t have time to blog as much as I should and I realized that numbers are pretty much a representation of how this month is for me.  So here comes the explanations:

I must admit that there are several factors involved in my decision to start getting more healthy.  I decided to cut the majority of soda out of my life after my incident several months ago where I had 4 kidney stones and some major medical issues that were not very pleasant to go through.  But in addition to cutting out soda there needs to be more.  Something more substantial that will make it so I’m not having a heart attack before Paisley has even graduated high school.  So here is the list of things that has helped change my motivation for working out and getting healthy: Read the rest of this entry »
