Year in Review

2010 was a great year, filled with accomplishments, trips, additions, and much more! Sit back & enjoy my year in review! <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/01/2010starting-again.html">January I started back on track</a>…for the millionth time! ;) In my mind that is a great accomplishment in itself, making the commitment to get back on track! February was a great OP month!

It took lots of careful thought & consideration over a very long period of time, but we decided you cannot put a price on time off. No amount of money is worth what he was doing.
