This is a blog redesign:

Over Christmas I weighed myself and was astounded when the numbers finally stopped rolling at 225. “No way in hell,” I thought as I quickly stepped off the scale and turned to run away from the dreaded thing as quickly as I could. A few weeks of thought, probably combined with some emotional eating got me thinking. I wanted to lose weight once, and for all. A new year, a new me… ridiculous I know. Not another new year’s resolution.

But at the time it was all just talk until I found out that the guy I liked (and thought liked me too) for months on end actually had a crush on my roommate. He came into town one weekend, they went on three dates and the rest is history, I guess. Don’t worry, she’s a beautiful blonde who quite probably weighs in at 165 lb. Now, as they’re galavanting around Minneapolis and through each others dreams, I’m writing this blog and doing something about it.

I’m making a lifestyle change. I’m not doing any gimmicks or fad diets. I’m not losing 20 pounds in a week or only drinking grapefruit juice. My aim is to lose one, count it, one, pound a week. This is going to be strictly by eating healthy, exercising, and keeping this little blog in order to help keep me accountable. (Side note: I only thought of the blog when I was roaming on the internet one day and stumbled upon someone else’s blog. I had a blog once. I even made like 10 posts, so I came back to this unfamiliar website, but couldn’t remember my log-in or password.) So now, I have a use for my blog.

If you’re an average American, you’re probably overweight. Hopefully my story can help you someday reach your goal. Let’s do it together…or I’ll just do it by myself. Either way, I never want to see that number on a scale ever again. I won’t be hoping to lose half my weight, so I’m not quite half-assing it … but you get the general idea
