Trying this out...

I'm probably the last one to get on this band wagon of blogging, but I figured it was about time to start.  My life is pretty routine, but I absolutely love it.  I work, work out and love my husband.  I want to use this blog to talk about my experiences in life, but mainly my experiences on what it is to try to be "healthy" in the south. 

It started last July, after my beautiful wedding, and I realized one thing that was loud and clear.  I was fat and unhealthy.  I mean, hello- I plopped on 8 pounds during the honeymoon alone!  I realized then I had to do something and do it fast.  So I did and I cannot believe how far I've come.  I've dropped 31 pounds and will run in my first 5k this weekend.  I can't believe how far I've been able to come in 8 months... it's been a long, long ride, but somehow, along the way, my mindset changed and I am loving every second of being a healthy, fit woman.

I will try to talk about healthy articles, eating right and just how I've gotten it to work in the real world.  The few things I've learned are simple: eat less, move more... watch your portions... and discipline yourself in the gym.  Its just as easy to go get on an elliptical as it is to eat a doughnut- its just all a mind game.

So bear with me as I learn about blogging and hope that ya'll will share ideas and information with me as well!
