After the holidays…

So, I am in preparation of change. After the holidays, my husband and I have decided to try Weight Watchers (together) and in addition, we will now be able to get a membership at our local YMCA (YAY!).

Our new insurance does not cover weight loss surgery of any kind.   To me this is a sign that I must do it on my own.  As much as I wanted the surgery, I don’t want to wait a minute longer to change my life.  I don’t care that I don’t get the surgery.  What I do care about is getting healthy.  My husband and I have discussed this at length and we recognize that in order for me to succeed, we need to make changes as a family.  Having a support system at home (not just online) is going to go a long way to making my goal a reality!

I go this week to get the membership at the Y.  I am so excited and more importantly SO ready for this!  2012 WILL BE my year! :D

Health Insurance

My hubby just completed 60 out of his 90 days probation, which means my family and I now have health insurance. This is crazy, but it feels like such a luxary to have insurance. His previous employer offered insurance, but it was way to expensive for our family of five. One place that we did find great rates on insurance was cheapest health insurance they seemed to have flexible plans available for those who may not have insurance offered by their employers.

Vacations

I am thinking about taking the hubby and the kids on a vacation. Seems to be this time of year you see more commercials for vacation spots. We are considering Disney vacations for they really do have many things to offer. We like the all inclusive packages they have. Now, the only thing left to do is to decide which resort to stay at. I am thinking something close to the Magic Kingdom, as I believe my little ones will really enjoy it.
