Hello!
As many of us trudge on through our goals and resolutions to
diet, exercise and live that perfectly balanced life... life itself gets in the
way. I mean, seriously who does this whole living healthy thing right all the
time and where’s the hypnotist to help give me that sort of mindset?
What happened?
Many of you followed my brilliant 2 months of incredible
weight loss and it was truly an achievement {and in a healthy way}. But as soon
as I came back to the states and I was presented with a full time desk job, the
onslaught of fast food and microwavable meals, life seemed to just get in the
way. Since I did not have any goals at the time of my homecoming {as my
original goal’s end date was when I got on the plane to come home}I was not
trying to lose weight and I ended up gaining well over 40 pounds because I also
did not have a goal to stay healthy.
Now what?
Now I find myself living in lovely Florida with bikini
season right around the corner and I cannot even manage to wear a sleeveless
blouse without feeling socially pressured to disguise my extra pounds
as a bunched sweater sleeve. So with that uncomfortable existence looming over
me I invite you once more to come along on a new journey with me. I will be losing
the weight and this time, keeping it off, by making healthy living a lifestyle
{no hypnotist involved}.
Next time…
Keep an eye out for how-to posts for recipes, exercise,
mindsets and updates on everything from my weight, my size and my frame of mind.

Yeah, I posted it. There’s nothing to
fear in a number. My number is someones goal. What I am not proud of is the health choices that I have {or haven’t} made in
the past two years. It’s not about a resolution, or a desire to fit in, or to even
be comfortable in my bikini. It is my goal to work hard to be the happiest
version of myself possible and hopefully that will inspire others to find their
happy as well.
My happy is me healthy.
What’s your happy?
