Healthspiration!

So my best bud introduced me to some sites about the actual joys of weight loss. Not that it isn't hard, but it's down right depressing most of the time. And I'm normally prone to getting down when it comes to my appearance. It's hard not too when the media constantly bombards you with an image of extreme thinness. I will never be a pixie, I know this. I love the style of Audrey, but I'm a big boned gal like Marilyn. But I must say, as much as I complain about my size, curvascious girls are marvelous! I'm going to try not to forget it. I'm constantly trying to turn over new leaves, especially regarding my health, thus: a website to post my joys, and my distresses, but in a positive way. I can post recipes, and track what works for me. Good idea? Fabulous.

Today was my start to dieting for the millionth time. I've been maintaining since the summer, but I'm finally ready to break through my plateau and get myself healthier weight-wise through exercise and better eating. Hard to do on a college campus (the eating part), let me tell you, but I've finally moved off campus and therefore, I have more opportunity to cook for myself. Scary thought, no?


So my goal: 20 pounds by summer. Totally do-able. I know I can. I've got this. I lost 30 pounds over the summer. I can do this.

More importantly, I'm trying to get mi amour in on the game, for his health too. Cause, granted, I want him to stick around with me as long as we can make it, and I intend that to be for a very very long time.
