March 1st, Dr Suess' birthday, the first day of the Paleo Challenge or Weight Watchers...which ever works!
Here's hoping for the best...this dieting stuff sucks! Been stuck at this weight for months and getting sick and tired of it all...The plan is to make 5 lb goals so not to get discouraged. 130 is the goal I've been tying to achieve for months...The closest I've come is 131.5 then back up she goes...grrrr...frustrating, but time to stop screwing around...pull up the big girl panties and get moving. The main goal is 30 lbs in a year...June 15 is a year...bringing me to 125. Should it be lower, yes, but first things first.
Today's weight 132.8

Happy Fat Tuesday! A lot has happened in a year!
My oldest is back home from Afghanistan, back in Florida along with his 19 year old brother and new girl friend (whom we adore). My daughter graduated college and is looking for that job...hoping it happens soon! # 3 is living with #1 and attending college in Jacksonville....#4 is now in 7th grade, basketball season is almost over and soon baseball will begin!
I've joined a gym and loving it (did I say that) and Dana! I go twice a week, despite the knees not wanting to go with me, but I'm hanging in there....I've been dieting since last June. In total, I've lost 22.5 lbs and a bunch of inches. Hope to lose another 10, trying to eat healthy too.
Lost my job early this year due to Hurricane Sandy, in November, ugh...found a babysitting job for now, not my thing, trust me. Hope we go back sooner than later, but you never know.
I've also joined a book club! Our first book was The Good House, by Anne Leary. A quick story, not a bad read...gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Second book is underway and it's The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D, by Nichole Bernier...so far so good, actually better than the first book.
Hoping to get to Florida during Easter week. Wanted to go to Dallas to do the Color Run with my cousins, but I didn't realize that the run is the same week, grr! Guess I should have looked at the calendar!

Hi, I'm Caron
I am a Jersey girl, born and bread. I am happily married for almost 24 years. I have 4 great children who have kept me very busy over the years. My oldest son is on deployment, serving our great country in Afghanistan. My daughter is a senior in college and my third child is finishing his senior year of high school. The youngest son, our surprise, is in sixth grade.
I work part time, which is more than plenty, although it is seasonal and I am happy to say I am starting my "off" season. So to keep me busy, I thought I would put pen to paper...or fingers to keyboard!
I am happiest in the kitchen cooking and trying new recipes although my kids might not always be thrilled, the hubby is. My second happy place is relaxing in my chair on the beach, breathing in the salt air....
