Starting Fresh

This is me!

I am kinda goofy, a little crazy and hella determined!

This blog is a space for me to write about the daily struggle I have with weight loss and life in general. I had lap band surgery in 2009 and lost about 60 pounds in one year. Looking back now 165 pounds is not such a bad weight to be, but I was not satisfied and had not reached goal so I have no pictures! Sad.

I never made it to my goal weight. After a year of success, I let old habits slip back in, not helped by my love of baking and cooking. I swear I was a chef in another life. After finding love, graduating with my MBA and a  year later still searching for the perfect job opportunity, I have put fitness to the back burner. I still have maintain the habit of running, but not as regularly as I should.

 I still eat fairly clean, but the chips, cookies and diet soda slipped back in. I feel like every week I am trying something new to reach my ultimate weight loss goal and every week I see the scale go up. Now 203 pounds, a place I never imagined I would see again, I am here, determined to finally make that change.

So here I am....starting fresh. My boyfriend and I are moving in together in the next few days and it is by far time to finally stop talking and start doing.

But first....My life in pictures

Love,
