Ed and I joined Weight Watchers about 3 weeks ago. So far I have lost 11.5 pounds. Ed has lost 13. When we reach our goal weight we are going to schedule a cruise. I only have about 45 lbs to go. Ed has "alot" to go. (Those are his words) It has been interesting changing our diets so radically. I love veggies and fruit, but you can only eat so many bananas before they start not being delicious.
My willpower is pretty strong this time around. I believe I will make it to my goal in 6-12 months. Hopefully closer to the 6. When the weather warms up it will be easier to be active outdoors. I am not much for cold weather outdoor activities, me being an icicle and all.
Anyway.... wish us luck and healthy eating.

So the blog begins....
Hey everyone, I decided to joing the world of blogging. I enjoy writing and sometimes my life is interesting. What a better combination to start a blog right? By way of introduction my name is Shirene. I am married to Ed and we have 4 kids. Sara almost 16. Eric almost 15. Weston almost 11 and Bailey almost 10 birthdays are 1-2 months away. For me its in a couple weeks. I will be double 4's.
My number one hobby is politics. This past summer I jumped in with both feet as a candidate for the State House of Representatives. I lost by 600 votes. But it was an interesting ride. I met alot of people and developed some good friendships.
Second hobby is acting.. or at least pretending to. My kids and I enjoy community theater. We have been fortunate enough to have a cute little theater nearby and we have "played" in a number of plays.
3rd favorite hobby is watching movies - yep we LOVE it.
We do the whole camping fishing hunting thing. We like being in the great outdoors.
With a daughter in High School, a son in Jr High and two kiddos in elementry school our lives are never dull.
Our third child has some special needs and he definitely has his own challenges. But he is a very patient kid and we are blessed to have him (and all his siblings) in our family.
So boring intro over..... on with the fun :)
