Hello! This is my new blog. I've been wanting to start this for a while but never really got around to it. I've also been wanting to start this new life for a while but kept falling backwards. But now I'm committed!
Why am I so committed? Well the main reason is to lose weight. I used to be pretty skinny without really trying. But sometime in college I got lazy, ate crap, and just didn't care that much. I don't know how, but I packed on about 70 pounds. Yes, you read that right. I don't like talking about my weight a lot because I've been pretty self conscious about it. So I started ignoring it and denying it. I'm not really that fat. I didn't really gain that much. And it was partially true - I never crossed the 200 mark, so my weight hasn't been completely out of control. But at my height and age, I should really weigh a lot less.
Now that I'm engaged and planning a wedding (yay!), I am finally getting the motivation I need. Who wants to look like a cow in their wedding dress? I don't want to look through the pictures and have to pick out the ones I don't look fat in. I want to look and feel GREAT on my wedding day!
So that's the main motivation. I've also been wanting to start doing things that are just plain good for me. I've been altering the way I view a lot of things. I'm looking for more natural foods. I've been making my own household cleaners. I've been getting off my butt and doing something physical as much as I can. I'm hoping that combining these things will help me live a better life!
