It's a good thing the beginning of any venture is when I have the most motivation- otherwise I would be far too scared (or smart, perhaps?) to post the details of my starting point. But now that I am flinging myself into cyberspace humiliation, I have no choice but to kick ass and shed this extra weight. If you are ever in need of a 'pick-me-up', allow me to assist. Just read my measurements, then measure yourself and record them to compare. You're welcome. (Note - the side photo is not a snapshot of my recent pregnancy)

To start off, I am choosing healthier options for my meals, and smaller portions. Also not eating late at night (my #1 vice, I must admit). As far as exercise, I am still working out a proper routine. I would like to take a calorie-burning walk at least 5 times a week, and whenever possible do calisthetics (butchering that term, I'm sure), an upper arm boxing workout with my trainer boyfriend, and a simple lightweight routine. Adding to that the 'mommy baby dance parties' Xia and I enjoy to electronica, and if only I could get that damn DDR mat to work- I used to burn like crazy from that! Still searching online for good workouts..
Question #2: Is there a good indoor place for purposeful walking other than the mall??
I will weigh in again 2 weeks from now. Wish me luck!
This isn't really comedy- but you may be laughing at me
Ideas bombard my brain during all quiet times of the day - in the car, shower, and especially when I am trying desperately to fall asleep at night. Basically whenever I am alone without a pencil. When I was younger I logged all my future business ideas in a gigantic notebook. Ranging from fashion design to a futuristic coffee shop, to tv shows and entertainment networking, animal rescues and educational websites. At present I am a stay at home mom (go figure).
Here will be a forum for my musings, thoughts and queries on creativity, family life, sociology, human nature, news and pop culture; as well as some short stories. I will also post examples of my photography, digital art and charcoal. Writing has always provided me with a meditative outlet, and hopefully somewhere floating in cyberspace exists an audience ripe for my following (3, 4 of you perhaps??)
Ok, so this really just turned into my weight loss blog for now....
Please comment on anything here- I would love for this to be a volley-inspiring environment.
