Well hello..

I've been encouraged to share my life via blogging and because I do love to share, I'm here!

Just a bit of background on me, for as long as I can remember I've been a big girl, always choosing what to wear based on my size being available vs what I really want. Choosing not to participate in sports because I would get too tired. I focused on studying and watching TV and going out to movies and restaurants with friends in my free time instead.

I've always eaten healthy at the core, but snacks, treats and portion sizes that are too large have snuck in to cause me to maintain or put on weight depending on the year or the situation in my life.

I've been married and then divorced, I've lived in my parents' basement and been out of work, I've been in horrible relationships, ones that ended tragically and wonderful ones (which I am in now). My life has excellent happy experiences which cause me to eat out of joy,  and sad sad times which cause me to comfort myself with food and not exercise.

I'm pretty much at the highest weight I've ever been and I'm making the decision to turn it around and I would like to share that with whomever wants to read :)

Just to start off, this week I started using MyFitnessPal to track calories, I'm learning to run doing Couch to 5K and I workout with a personal trainer 2x a week, plus my own running/cardio at LA Fitness.   My personal trainer has recently helped me put together a meal plan and I started it yesterday! Oh I have about 55 lbs to lose, and I want to be healthy and I want it gone for GOOD.

I'm going to try and put a weight loss tracker gadget thingy-ma-dinger on here, but I have to figure out one that works, MyFitnessPal has one but I can't get it work here, boo.

I want to thank Misty @ Off the D List  for encouraging me to get my bootay online and do this!

Umm hmm, just to make you smile....what do you call the two sexiest animals on the farm?



Brown Chicken, Brown Coooow!
