I'm mainly blogging to help myself eat healthier and get into better shape, but if I can also amuse, help, or even inspire someone else too that is great.
So, I am 23, live in NJ and my diet of choice is Weight Watchers. I started on September 1st and I'm following the Flex Plan. My husband and I love to cook and try new recipes, so I hope to have this blog be part recipes, part exercise and part motivation.
So what is my motivation? I just got married in December of 2007. I *meant* to kick myself into shape by the time the wedding came along, but alas, that did not happen. Luckily I have a photographer who must have majored in Photoshop because my pictures look amazing.
So I've always struggled with being heavy and something just clicked last week and I decided that I *CAN* do this. If I could somehow pay my way through 4 years of a private University while working part time, I can do this. If I could find a great job that I love only 6 months after graduating, I can do this. If I survived packing up and moving 250 miles from home to take that great job, I can definitely do this.
So that's one more piece of this. I just moved from Mass to NJ. I see my friends and family about once a month. And honestly, I want to surprise the sh*t out of them when we go home for the holidays and I'm looking good.
I've also been inspired by a wonderful group of people online. If you know me, then I'm sure you've heard all about the *nest*. It's basically a spin off group from a message board of ladies that were getting married, either around the same month, or the same location. There have been 2 especially inspiring girls, one from the December board and one from the local board and I hope to get their permissions to link their blogs to mine too because they both have very inspiring stories.
So that's it. I am officially hell bent on change, and how embarrassing would it be to have this blog and typed all this for nothing, now I have to be accountable.
