My first blog message

I am attempting to develop a blog for myself and my family.  Not sure how this will work, but I love reading my daughter Jennifer's blog and decided that I might want to start one.  I am starting a new weight loss journey in preparation for my son Michael's wedding on May 19, 2012.  So far I have done well, of course it is only January 3rd.  I have not gotten to the gym but I did a lot of work around the house, like taking down thew Christmas tree and decorations and cleaning out the garage, so this should count for some type of exercise.
