My New Blog

I want to start a blog for my friends and family, and whoever else to read. This blog will be about my upcoming journey as a student teacher and, to the chagrin of some friends, my weight loss. Which desperately needs to begin.

I have just finished December 2010 Self Magazine issue, which has Kelly Osbourne on the cover, in a BIKINI! I know I can do it, if she can do it.

I know I have dwelled on this for, well 23 years. But I'm tired of obsessing about how fat I am and doing nothing about it. I'm hoping this blog will give me a little extra encouragement. God knows I need it.

I hate my body, I hate hating my body. I shy away from many activities and adventures because of the way I feel about myself. I want that to stop. I need to make changes in my life so I can start living a happy life, where I'm comfortable in my own skin, and HEALTHY.

In coming posts I will display my weight, workout and eating. ALSO I will start posting about my student teaching, which begins on January 3rd (I think). I know losing weight and student teaching generally have nothing to do with one another, but I want to be a role model to students, in every way possible. A good way to do that is by start being happy with the way I look and feel.

I am exhausted and it's bedtime.

AND I made 3 new mixes for my iPod shuffle, a 30 minute playlist for weights, a 30 minute playlist for yoga or pilates and a 60 minute playlist for cardio!
