Hi Alison here, I recently moved to Florida and because of that move gave up my career/job of 10 years, and find myself constantly bored!

I have found since moving here in July/09 that I am cooking to fill my boredom. I LOVE to cook, and its something I did not get to do very often when I had a career! But since I am not working I am finding that is all is do and of course if you cook it - ya gotta eat it right?

Well this has unfortunately now added 10lbs to my middle section. My tummy is having a mid-driff crisis! lol

So my goal is ten lbs (hopefully in 8 weeks or less), Oh and did I mention that Iv also decided to quite smoking - which is NOT helping with the eatting at all!.

I really want to get in shape, lose the 10 lbs, get more fit etc. I hope I can do it!
