About Me

Someone told me I should do a little about me section for anyone who does not know me personally but stumbles upon my blog.  I'm sure most people reading this are just friends and family, but will go ahead and do a quick rundown.

Disclaimer, I am not a great writer, so don't get your hopes up for mind blowing revelations put into eloquent words haha but I have been wanting to blog recently and why not start now?!?!

My Weight-loss AKA Trying to get Healthy Journey

Me down 95 pounds

Back in 2009, I joined Weight Watchers.  I had great success with WW and lost 95 pounds over the course of 2 years.  Throughout those years, I started to workout more and at some point fractured a bone in my foot.  In Feb 2011, I had to have reconstructive surgery on my foot.  If you have never had foot surgery before, let me tell you, this has been the longest recovery, a lot worse than I expected.  I was couch-bound for 10 days.  Then eight weeks of crutches.  And when I finally was able to start trying to walk again, it hurt oh so bad.  Through this time, I went from working out two hours a day to nothing!  Which lead to depression, which lead to over eating, which lead to a year later, I have gained 50 of the 95 pounds back AHHHHH!!!

It is time to recommit to myself and my friends and family that I am worth the work to keep this stupid weight off!  I tried to go back to WW but it just was not working for me.  I have tried a few other things, but nothing has been clicking.  I had some friends tell me about their experiences with Whole30 and here we are...

We live together with our two kittens, David and Matthew.  They will be 2 in July but they will always be kittens to us! I love Dave Matthews, hence the kittens names :)

I was introduced to yoga by one of my now best friends, Lisa Dover, and have never looked back! I consider myself a practicing yogi and appreciate Lisa's push to get into yoga!
