Happy Birthday, Traveling Light!

It's good to know that I treat my blog the same way I treat my children. Today is Traveling Light's second birthday, and while I want to recognize this fun milestone, I am not having a "big party" like I did last year. I'm a consistant mom. Ha! I tend to have big parties for a "Happy 1st" and just lay low for the second.

So Traveling Light: you are two years old today. Life has thrown a lot of changes at me lately, and I know I haven't really devoted as much time to you as I did in past years. I sure hope to pick back up on writing sometime soon. I can see that I'm losing readers, and I sure wish I could get back in sink.

One quick update for those of you are sticking with me even though I've been slacking: you may recall when I wrote the entry Don't Hog Your Journey and discussed my current weight loss journey. I did hit my "199" goal on November 23rd. Interestingly - but not surprisingly to me - I have remained at 198 since December. The first week of January I joined a Biggest Loser competition just to try to stay motivated. I'm very proud of my accomplishment - 25 pounds gone - but I do hope to continue and lose the next 30 as well!

Here is a picture of me with my cousins and sister on Christmas day - I'm in purple!














It's now one of my favorite pictures of me.



Until the next update...
