All is Perfect In Its Time: Weight Loss: START!

Weight Loss: START!

I just decided to start another one of my goals!
I entered this contest for a free photo-shoot by this amazing photographer and, though I didn't win the contest itself, she is giving me a photo-shoot as an early graduation gift!! How amazing is she!
(I can't really say who she is right now, but maybe sometime in the future)

Anyway, I am determined to lose weight for the shoot and for the Senior Ball (which will be around the same time)! I was so excited when she emailed me to tell me about the shoot that I

couldn't sleep! I will track all of my workout and everything I eat with you guys here to keep me on track, so expect a new post just about daily! To help me with this I am using an iPhone App called "Lose It" which tracks all of the calories you eat and the workouts you do. I am super excited and can't wait for April!

This also helps me with my 101 in 1001 because I have a few that include losing weight. Yay! Can't wait! Time to see a new, healthier me!

Good luck to you... and good luck to me!
