Failure...success...life

Okay so it's almost Christmas and I have not lost my 20lbs. I haven't gained either, so that is a mini-success, I guess. Well, I have some new motivation...at least I hope it will motivate me. I am going to Aruba at the end of March with my spouse. I am very excited about the trip and I would like to lose some weight before then so that I will be able to look back at pictures from the trip and really enjoy the memories. You know? So my new goal is to lose 25-30 lbs by the time that we go to Aruba. That will be an average of 2 lbs a week. Here goes nothing. I think I need to hang a picture of Aruba up in my work out room. Here's to starting my New Year's resolution early.
