My 1st blog and my 1st blog entry! I started this blog to connect with others who are on the same path as I am, so that we can share stories, ideas, and more. I am a mommy, a daughter, a nursing student-to-be, a wife-to-be, a friend, amateur chef, business woman, and so much more. I recently became a mom for the first time and while I was overwhelmed with joy, my horrible eating habits left my body with some serious damage. I was 29, diagnosed with gout arthritis, high blood pressure, and considered obese. Losing the baby weight was hard at first, but became easier when my boyfriend proposed- I didn’t want to be overweight on my wedding day! Those pictures! They are for LIFE! The weight started falling off once I became committed to getting into my dress. I adopted Weight Watchers to learn how to portion control, and incorporated Herbalife Shakes to give me energy to power through my workouts. While I was losing weight quickly and just fine and dandy, I still didn’t feel healthy. Then I realized I wasn’t. I was losing weight, and looking a whole heck-uva lot better, but I was still eating crap. Processed food, fast food, junk food… PURE CRAP! That’s when I finally opened my eyes and started my mission for not just weight loss, but truly for health and wellness. I am trying my hardest to maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising everyday, not eating out, eating only homemade meals of organic fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, limiting pork and red meat, reading all food labels, and watching my sodium levels. I am always on the lookout for new ways to incorporate health and wellness into my family’s everyday lives (not easy with a picky fiance and an even pickier 2 year old!)…But I am dedicated to my mission of staying on the road to healthiness. Please join me by following my blog and checking back daily so that we can do it together!
