New Year's Re-commitment Resolution

The girls and I kicked off the new year with a support group lunch at The Corner Bar.  We had become pretty lax with our regular meetings the past few months and we missed the accountability factor!  We decided to meet once a week on Saturday mornings, even if only for a half hour, to check in and get a dose of encouragement for the week ahead.  I believe this "support group" is the driving force behind my successful weight loss this year.  If you feel you are the lone wolf out there desperately trying to lose weight - get a friend or a spouse or a child on board with you.   Or go bold and form a group in your community.  You know there are others out there sharing the same struggles.

This is a perfect lead in to mention my middle daughter and her personal success story last year. She was always the "thin" one in the family.  We all wondered whose genes she inherited...

Well, unbeknownst to me and Daughter 1 and Daughter 3, while we were beginning our weight loss journey together, Daughter 2 was beginning a journey of her own (she lives in another town). None of us thought she needed to lose weight, but she began working out, eating low carb, drinking Shakeology, and has become a Team Beachbody coach.  You can meet her here: teambeachbody.com/rachelbronsberg
Team Beachbody coaches are great for support and encouragement - join one of her group challenges!

Over the course of the last year, Daughter 2 has lost 32 lbs. - not to mention has become super fit!  I guess we all have room for improvement.  Let's face it, we all know where we should be personally to look and feel our best.  If you are 75 lbs. overweight, you look at someone who is 20 lbs. overweight and think to yourself, "she doesn't need to lose weight!" But that is for each of us to determine.  The goal is to be healthy and feel good mentally and physically.  You set your own goals - and remember -
