Wow, never knew starting a blog could be so nerve wracking…trying to figure out what type of thing to write about, how to write them, will people follow, will they enjoy and relate to what they are reading? Not to mention trying to figure how you want to design your blog….decisions, decisions, decisions!!! But I guess the best thing to do is just be myself and be honest.

　
Anyway, as the title states: this is my life changing journey that I am embarking on and hope you will come along for the ride. No gas money required! J

My journey is trying to deal with weight loss. As some of you know, I have joined Weight Watchers in hopes of getting to my goal. Am I looking to be stick thin? No, but I am looking to get healthy. I want to make sure that I am around for a long time to be there for my daughter. I will tell you though, it’s not easy. I’ve struggled all my life with my weight and learning a whole new lifestyle has been difficult. I am in my third session of WW, but like they say: third time‘s the charm! No one’s fault but my own that I didn‘t succeed in the first two rounds. But I know I need to get back on track and hopefully with the tools from WW and encouragement from my loved ones, I will get back to where I was when I was kicking butt with the weigh loss. I know there will be more times when I will slipup, but I will take the opportunity to learn from them. Dust myself off and keep on truckin’!

This is why I decided to start a blog; to hold myself accountable for my actions. If I tell people this is what I’m doing, I can’t hide from it. This will be the kick in the pants that I will need on those days where, maybe I don’t feel like getting up and exercising…or, maybe I don’t want to eat my vegetables. But, with all eyes on me…I know I will have to.

Hopefully you will come along with me and instead of gas money, all I need are encouraging words. If you would like to join me, please feel free to follow me on my journey. Come along with me and you will find laughter, tears, ups and downs. It will also be a place to share some yummy recipes and even stories of your own.

So here we go…hang on tight and don’t forget to buckle up! J
