Hello my friends,

I wanted to take a different direction with this blog or rather an addition to my past blogs. I realized for the past few months that I've not been feeling as up to par, my eating habits aren't probably the best and I'm slowly on the path to a bulging body.

Don't get my wrong. I've always felt that I've felt very confident and healthy in my lifestyle. So I should probably be feeling better. Rather than some stupid celebrity endorsements, I wanted to write about the journey of the everyday, well, girl in this case just wanting to get and stay healthy. Also, I've noticed with this program compared to others that first of all, it's all virtual (which I love!), secondly you can buy everything in your local super market (unlike other programs which make you buy their branded food) and lastly, it's a much cheaper way of eating! The adjustments I've already made, I've saved money and am eating so much better AND feeling mentally and physically amazing!

For the next 6-months, I'm teaming up with my friends at mybodytutor.com and will blog each day about my personal experience and accomplishments AND slip ups. My body tutor and trainer Anna Wood was nice enough to donate a free week to the Shakespeare's Sister Company's silent auction at our recent Scavenger Hunt Benefit and I won! :) It's important for me to keep this up and hopefully, through my journey, you can use some insight that I've learned to apply to your own life. I've already learned so much.

I'm so excited to share this journey with you. I'm calling it "My Healthy Addiction." Please note that I'm being completely transparent and am not opening this blog up to people to judge my decisions or promote discouragements or endorsements that have nothing to do with the blog. Also, I'm not a trainer, I'm working with one through my body tutor who have a very specific program. These are just the thoughts of my process.

Currently, I'm 20 lbs heavier than my ideal weight and apparently have a real problem with salt and sugar. Oh, and carbs. Much of this process is to encourage myself back to my fighting weight. :) Feel free to leave me notes of encouragement! As many of you know, I love compliments!

So, tune in every day. You can also subscribe to this journal to get daily updates.

Ok, here I go...
