Danger! Girl with a 'tude AND a blog!

Me?  A blogger?

Well, I don't know about that, but let me 'keep it real' for a minute-

What I do know is that I have a lot to say and a lot of thoughts that keep me up at night.  I've not really ever been one to journal with pen and paper.  In fact, my efforts to keep journals in the past were huge failures.  I think the longest journal I ever kept was 3 days!  So, I'm not promising how often I'm going to post, but I do know this:  since January of 2012, I have been on a weight-loss journey.  With this has come many highs and many lows.  One thing that I feel is a big part of this is the mental part-- the thoughts in my head that hold me back.  This past year, these thoughts, along with some very tough personal issues,  have destroyed much of the good that I have done on this journey.

So, now I'm fighting back!  It is time for me to refocus and recommit to becoming the healthier version of me that I had started to become.  I wasn't finished!  LOL  So here's what I hope this blog will be:

1. An outlet for me and others to share struggles and successes.
2. A place to share suggestions, recipes, and hints for the journey.
3. A source of inspiration for myself and others.
4. A place to be accountable.
5. A place where I "Keep it Real"- I don't want to sugar coat this at all.  This journey is hard and there are a lot of emotions that go with it.  

So, let's give this a try and see how it goes!
