Yes, I decided to keep WordPress’s default first post title because hey, that’s what I basically wanna say. There’s a general about me section that you can read, but I wanted to give you a few more things to chew on, so to speak. When this blog picks up speed, I suppose that I’ll combine this info into an FAQ page once you guys begin asking questions ( which you can do in the comment section).
This blog was borne in part from the suggestion that I start a beauty blog; it came from a friend who is a fellow beauty junkie and entrepreneur, and I’m thinking hell, she’s starting a blog, and there are all these other beauty blogs out there… it’s not necessarily an area that I’d like to throw may hat in, especially when I have two other failed unupdated dormant blogs that were basically about nothing (which is probably why they’re dormant). I felt flattered that she thought I had enough to offer, but I pushed the idea aside.
Then, as I was on the treadmill during my first week of my half thought out get fit plan, I thought of all the reasons that scared, yes scared me into the gym:
*Last year around this time I lost two family members who succumbed to preventable heath problems, and I swore to myself that I’d do what I could to not leave my daughter by some dumb health issue that I COULD control.
*Both sides of my family are laden with (again) preventable health issues that can can be prevented or reversed with proper food and exercise.
*I’m tired of my primary care physician and one of my specialists nagging me about my weight.
*It’s frustrating to me that I can’t run like I used to.
*My bum knee is getting worse.
*I’m tired of dreaming up these fly ensembles and not being able to walk into a store and find something close to it.
* I freaking hate shopping at plus sized chains because a) they seem think that fat is a universal shape, so even when something is big enough, it is still ill-fitting b)they must think that because a woman is fat, she wants either boring, frowsy, or dowdy silhouettes, or ridiculous prints on her clothes c) this mess is cheaply made, and is overpriced d) they don’t make enough classic, well made pieces to build a wardrobe around.
*There could be any number of reasons to stare at me, but I’m sure my size is one. I’d like the stares to be in awe of how fit I am, not how un-fit.
*I just wanna live as long as I can naturally do so in a healthy body.
So yeah. All those things made me think that if I have a theme, blogging would be easier for me. I don’t want to make any promises as to how often I’ll be posting, but I want to give you guys something at least once a week (one of my other resolutions was to be me resourceful with my time). So we’ll see how it goes. Part 2 of this introduction coming up… I just didn’t wanna make this one entry too wordy and heavy
