A Healthier Us

Today is my birthday and the start of a new year and new chapter in my life. A lot of things have changed recently. I've been a my job for nearly a year now, and while I was promoted a while back I have now become the most tenured supervisor at my store. On top of work changes, I got married two weeks ago today. Now that things are starting to fall into place, my husband and I have decided it's the right time to start living our life a little healthier. We get lazy, like everyone does at times, but we have been relying on fast food and eating out far more often than we should and definitely more than we'd like to admit. Starting tomorrow--since of course we have to go out for my birthday-- we've decided to cut out eating out as a start to a healthier us. Since we're taking this huge step in the right direction, I also thought it was a good time to start an overall lifestyle change for myself. There are goals that I would like to achieve and being overweight severely hinders the chance of those things happening for me. Of course, I would like to start a family with my husband some day and the thought of carrying and caring for a child at my size is more scary than it is exciting. That for me is enough of an indicator that I need to make a more drastic change than just cutting out fast foods. While I am proud and confident of the person that I am, I know that these changes have been a long time coming. Hopefully this blog will serve as both the motivation and the accountability that I need to stay focused and make these goals a reality. The types of posts that you can expect to find here, aside from random ramblings, are likely to be food journals, recipes that we come across and really enjoy, and updates on my personal goals and achievements. I'm off to rid the house of junk food and get us ready to turn the page. Any tips or tricks, recipes or words of wisdom are welcome. Thanks for following our journey.
