About me

Location	The middle of nowhere, Virginia, United States
Introduction	So I am trying something new--a blog to tell the story of my "journey" to lose the extra weight I've gained since getting married and having a baby. Nothing unusual in that story but its the particulars that matter in anything. I hope that by writing down how both my husband and I are doing in our quest, we will keep ourselves focused and retain our sense of humor about the whole endeavor. As a 40-year old mom who works full-time and is also a poet trying to write a second book, I am a little busy but health is no longer a given and I don't want to find myself a diabetic at 45. So how will 2 people who love food and alcohol keep each other from going hog wild at the Cracker Barrel? Can we make sweat a part of our daily routine? Can we teach our daughter that chocolate bars are not a food staple? Check back weekly to find out!
