Question of the Week

Question of the Week:  Did you make any New Years resolutions?



My answer:    I actually began my New Years resolution back in September.  The day my kids started back to school (1st and 4th grade) I joined Curves with a friend.  We go 3 or 4 times each week.  My goal was to lose 30 pounds.  At the start of the New Year, I'm 1/2 way to my weight loss goal.

I made a New Year's resolution years ago to never make another, ever! Even posted my views on resolutions. You can read about it here if you'd like.
