Blog=Online Journal

I had a few people ask me when I told them I started a blog "What's a blog." I told them it's like an online journal, at least that was the explanation for me. A blog can be whatever you want it to be. It is something that you create online through blogger websites.

Anyway, I don't feel like I finished answering from Thursday's post on why I started a blog. I was inspired yes but what made me do it and why now. When I finally made up my mind to do it, I wanted to start it on my birthday this year because I was having a hard time with the birthday. I thought if I wrote things down about my life and shared it with others I would be able to deal with it better. So far things are a bit easier. It's therapy I guess. My good friend Rainey asked what I was going to post on my blog and I said a little bit of everything. That's kind of how she came up with the title. Oh, and she was also reading Age of Innocence at the time too.

My life has taken many different turns and roads throughout my 33 years. If you know me well enough you know what roads and turns I'm talking about. I am going to share these stories on my blog. The thing I'm dealing with now and have for most of my life is weight. I've gone up and I've come down. Right now I am on the down but holding steady at a 45lb weight loss. I was up to 50lbs but gained some back. I've been at this health kick for 2 years now all because of some health issues I was and still dealing with. I feel so much better since losing weight but I still need to loose about 40 more and I'm stuck. I've been stuck for about 8 months now. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I reached an all time high weight at...here I go...at 238. That's heavy especially when I'm only 5 feet 2.5 inches. Well, now you can figure out how much I weigh now.

It took until I was 31 to realize that I am an emotional eater. I think alot of people are. I also ate out of boredom. I have learned to change that and keep myself busy with projects or reading and not sitting in front of the television. The one year I got rid of cable tv so I could afford the gym. That year was my biggest weight loss. I think that I why I am stuck now. I returned that cable and started dating a while back and now I don't make the same amount of time for the gym. That is my goal for the new year, to get back to the basics again...gym 5 days a week.

Okay my peeps, ta ta for now. I must get ready to go and rejoice in the Lord...always.
