Well my dear blog I have tossed you aside and totally dismissed you, my diet and my exercise for the last month.  I am now taking a toll with my wardrobe but there is great news — I must turn this around because one year today I will be getting married and I need - want - desire to be in a size 14 regular.  I don’t want my shopping for a dress to be limited to the plus size shops only — I have been depressed about that for most of my adult life and I need - want — desire to finally once and for all shed this extra poundage — get into better physical shape and look forward to my married life with my dear sweetie.

Its been a rough few weeks with biopsies (no cancer just a chronic pain in the ***), excrutiating neck and shoulder pain, a fabulous trip, flooding here at work and of course my romantic and awesome proposal.  I have now gone back to my exercise classes (only time my back feels good — go figure) I am trying to eat properly and not get too stupid so that I can come close to my goal.

 More later……………………………….
