And so it begins...

Well... This is it.  My blog to chronicle my journey through weightloss and finding myself.  It only took me 24 hours to come up with the name!  Sheesh!  Every great idea I had for a name got shot down by 6 extremely irritating words - this blog name is not available.  Grrr!!! All these names I thought were unique and original had apparently been thought up by someone else already.  So much for standing out in the herd!  I guess I'm just chewing' cud with the rest of them.  Well, anyway, as I sat there trying to rack my brain after the TWELTH name had been shot down, I realized I was hungry.  I looked over on my desk and there was a HUGE bar of chocolate sitting there...Oh, how I love chocolate.  Any chocolate.  Eww, except for Palmer's chocolate.  That stuff's just nasty unedible!  Do you remember getting that crap as a kid in your Easter basket and being like, "Man, the Easter bunny left me crap candy!"?  I do.  But I digress.  Actually, I digress quite often, you will begin to see.  I'm like that fish on Finding Nemo -Dori.  You know, the one that has the voice of Ellen.  I do LOVE that character!  She totally cracks me up every single time I watch it!!

So, anyways, we've established that I am very fond of chocolate, but now for the other half of the blog name - CARDIO - my new obsession.  I freakin' love it!!  It kicks my butt every single day and I come back beggin' for more!! I can be in a total funk when I walk in, ( just ask my trainer) and 10 minutes in, I'm like the energizer bunny on speed!! Im smiling, cracking jokes, LOTS of jokes, and having a great time!  LOVE it!!

Anyways, the reason I decided to start this blog is to chronicle my journey as I lose weight and find out who I really am.  Plus my trainer says it's good to journal during this time, so I thought this would be a fun way to do that! :). At times, you will probably hear me whine - typically right before Mother Nature comes to destroy my otherwise very cheerful disposition.  So if my big girl panties start to sag a little, just tell me to shut-up!  That's what SOME people do, anyways! ;) ( luv ya, girl!)

I'm actually really excited tonight.  I have weigh-in tomorrow AND I get my measurements done!  I really hope I lost more than I did last month.  Three and a half inches lost is going in the right direction for me, but I need it to drive like a hot rod and not an old lady's Jazzy!  Know what I mean?!? Anyways, I am super excited about tomorrow and will probably be thinking about it all day!  :)

Thanks for stopping in and reading my blog!  It really means a lot to me that you stopped by!  Come back soon! :). For now, I leave you with a simple truth:

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself.  Whatever has to be done.  It's always your choice.
