On July 25, 1981 at 5:57am, my mother gave birth to a bouncing, chubby, big eyed baby girl... Ok, I joke, we don't have to go back that far. I believe that everything you do is connected and that your life path is pretty much layed out for you from the time you are conceived (not that I really want to think about that part!). That being said - my life path has been pretty amazing! I have a wonderful family, amazing friends, a fulfilling career, a safe (relatively, anyway) home and an overall great life!
I also have a fairly large butt. I have been bribed to lose weight, I attempted Weight Watchers, I got a dog so I would have to walk him (instead I just put up a fence!). Truth is, up until about 2 weeks ago, I was fairly happy being fluffy! And then I just wasn't anymore! And in my belief that everything is pre-destined in some way, I came home that day to find an advertisement for OMNI's Biggest Loser Challenge. Must have been a God Wink :) So, I signed up. I start Monday.
In the meantime, I am attempting to eat everything I can. All of my favorite foods, because most of them are on the list of "Absolutely Nots" for 15 days. Anybody wanna go to Outback? Dockside? San Jose?
I started this blog to shamelessly ask for support and encouragement on my Journey to More Awesomeness! One of my goals obviously is to lose weight, but just be overall healthier. I also just committed to a 5K late next summer (very, very late summer). This isn't going to be pretty people. I LOVE food, and I also LOVE to sit on my keester! So eating certain foods and going to the gym at least 3 days a week are not really my idea of great! But hey, it took hard work to get this fat, so its gonna take hard work to get this un-fat.
So feel free to follow me on this Biggest Challenge Journey and offer up your tips and any words of encouragement. Also feel free to laugh - I think I'm pretty funny! Just 2 rules -1) no meanie words (I have enough of those in my own head) and 2) don't hold the swear words against me - I will use them, and if by some chance I don't, know that they are implied!
