A True Attempt

This is my first ever blog, aside from old myspace posts, and facebook notes. I'm happy to have an outlet that will allow me to write on a consistent basis. I think it's important for me, as my creative side has been lacking lately.

I'm hoping this blog will serve as not only a creative outlet, but a motivational tool for getting in shape. It's about time! So many times I've tried and failed, started and stopped, all but got to where I want to be. I don't like being one of those people who start things and don't follow through, so maybe writing everyday and tracking my progress will become beneficial.

So, my main reasons for losing weight and getting in shape are:

• Be healthy- my blood pressure has been too high lately, and I've been advised to drop a few pounds. Nothing is worse than when a doctor tells you you're too fat
• Look better- of course we all want to look our best. I remember the days when I weighed a lot less and fit smaller clothes. I miss those days too much!
• Improve confidence- I feel like I have pretty decent self-confidence, though being in better shape would make me feel great all the time
• Dance- No true dancer is fat, it just does not look good. How can I join a class and feel like I fit in if I don't try harder?
  
• Score a hot date- Okay, as bad as this sounds, it's true. I think If I got in shape, improved confidence, it would alter what kind of guys I attract. Who knows, maybe I'll end up in a real relationship...

I guess that's it for now. It's a Monday, the perfect day to start something new. Today I had a salad for supper, and worked out at home. I'll post more details later.

Gotta get my sexy back!
