Journey to a healthier me!

Well, I have been wanting to lose weight and get healthier for a long time now. I have made some progress too. I finally bought a juicer, a stand mixer, and a grain mill. The grain mill being the most important one. Now I can make sure we are really getting whole grains into our diet. But, I still struggle with being overweight and having health problems. Both my mom and my husband are diagnosed as diabetic. I don't want to join them! So, I signed up for Richard Simmons' Food Mover 2009 program, and joined a Curves gym. I am hoping with the diet and exercise 3days/wk that will do the trick. Can't hurt! I am taking a before picture (no you can't see it) So that when I have lost a measurable amount I can take an after picture and compare the two. I might share then. :) I also belong to an online community at Sparkpeople.com if you'd like to check that out as well. Join me! Everyone should work toward being healthier even if your not overweight.
Don't forget to put your entry in for the blog makeover contest before midnight tonight!! I will draw and announce a winner Tuesday morning! Sign up below by adding your comment. Good Luck!

Forgive the mess

Sorry that my blog is currently a mess. I am trying to update my theme and in the process lost a lot of my content. I will fix this up ASAP. Please bear with me.

Thanks.
