I love chocolate: dark, milk, white, it's all good. Creamy melt in your mouth pure heaven. In the past I have used chocolate when I am happy, sad, depressed, angry, frustrated, excited, as an award, bored, and so many other feelings. But today I have taken the first step so to speak and will be saying No to that small square of deliciousness. (I know eventually I will add it back into my diet but for now it's saying no)I wish I could come up with something clever or witty to start with. The truth is I like probably millions of others want to be healthy, fit, and feel confident (plus skinny).
I'm keeping this blog as a way to keep myself accountable and write down my thoughts. I have found some amazing weightloss blogs and
love reading about their progress. It's amazing to watch. I can't wait to watch myself grow because I am starting this decade off right. A new me and hopefully I will never have to look back,
In case anyone out in cyberland is reading this: A little background one me:
I'm just your average mid 20 year old female that has always struggled with weight. I gain and lose gain and lose and have always considered myself one of the "fat girls". I got married at near the end of 2008 and lost around 30 pounds for my wedding. I felt so proud of myself and was learning how to really change my lifestyle by eating healthy and exercising. After the wedding my husband and I decided to begin our life as a married couple in his home country which meant I would be moving abroad. (Me an American him = a viking) Fast forward to now: The past year has been very hard without getting into too much details and I am slowly adjusting to living in a new country, not feeling so homesick, and finally realizing that I need to make healthy choices for myself and not anyone else. (this could be a whole blog topic..note to self )
Here is to saying No to chocolate in 2010

Hey there!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for checking out my blog and leaving that sweet and encouraging comment! I have def heard good things about the C25K program and am doing to be doing it as the time draws nearer. I also think that I'm going to add getting some running shoes into my reward system! Right now I've been using my Nike Shox for walking and eh...not so comfortable!
The Biggest Loser Challenge is something my friend does with her family and I just joined in. For 9 week periods we will have a challenge where we weigh in weekly, all pitch in $20, and at the end of the 9 weeks whoever has lost the highest percentage of body weight wins all of the money! It's been a fun way to keep me motivated!
Looking forward to reading your blog when it's up and running! The header is soooo adorable!
