So instead of waiting for the new year to start this blog, i'm going to jump the gun a little and start it now. Hi! Nice to meet you. You can call me Heather :)
I'm a daughter, wife, sister, auntie, and novice homemaker living in sunny *not right now, but normally* southern california. I'm not really sure wat the purpose of this blog is at the moment, i'm just kind of going to see where it goes. I'll write about my thoughts, troubles, wonderings, and events that happen in my daily life.
Right now my focus is two things: saving money to buy a house with my husband, and to lose weight. I'm only 25, so I SHOULD be able to lose weight easily, but it hasn't been that way in the past so i'm not really looking forward to the future. My main problem it the food I eat. My husband cooks really well and loves to make exoctic/rich foods for us to eat he tries sometimes to make my food better but still needs his sauces and meats and potatoes. I need to take it upon myself to eat the right foods and if that means not eating his delicious steak and/or fettucini alfredo homemade sauce then i'm going to have to do it. If we want to have kids anytime soon, I need to be in the best baby making shape that I can be. My goal is to lose at least 50 pounds to be back in the range that I should be for my age/height. I have a friend who lost a lot of weight by just calorie counting alone, and he used caloriecount.about.com so I decided to check it out. It's free and has all kinds of trackers and tools to keep you on track. Yesterday was my first day and it went pretty well despite the terrible weather and traffic and the fact that I screwed up my calories for the day with just my breakfast alone! I went to the gym and really tried to do a little extra and i'm going to do the same today. Tomorrow i'm going karaoke with the girls so I won't be at the gym and then it's the holidays. I'm going to try to go while im on vacation but you know how that song goes!
I started off on the right foot today with some granola cereal and an orange with peach tea to drink. Surprisingly enough i'm pretty full so it's looking good so far. I think that's enough about me for today. The tip of the iceberg.
While i've been writing this, I became REALLY hyper!! I have Lady Gaga on my Pandora box and im ready to go. Maybe the granola cereal I had this morning just took a little bit to get into my system...Bring on the day! :)
