I'm just getting started on this website and would love some accountability partners. (:

I'm in the process of figuring out what's going on with my Thyroid because I put on 30 pounds in about 6 months, and then dropped 10 pounds quickly. Doc thinks it's Hashimoto's Thyroiditis so I'm getting serious about my health now that I have a name for what's been causing me problems for the past couple of years.

We're at our first duty station and soon after we got here my husband left for a month for training and will deploy later this year so I'm so glad for this app/site so I can really keep an eye on what I eat and do. Seeing the amount lost pop up right before I feel like binging is just motivation to put it away. (:

Anyways so hello, I'm Kelsey. In school to teach English as a Second Language. I'm bilingual and learning bits of others but fluent in Spanish. I live on post and the first step I've done is making a "trail" around my neighborhood that's about 2 miles and walk my dog. :P

    We're at Fort Hood! It's so BEAUTIFUL and sunny, oh my goodness. I love it. I know it's going to be hotter than hades this summer which means I NEED to get comfortable in my skin because I'll be showing it in these summer days. :P

    Well, I haven't gone to a gym on post. I have a friend who goes off but I'd rather go to the free ones like a couple streets over and I could walk. I just wanted my husband to go with me the first time. :X Ugh, see I'm so independent and lived alone before we got married but something about being in a completely different state "alone" is different. I recently made a walking trail of our village with my dog so that was nice! I should have dressed less bum-like because I was self conscious the whole walk, haha.

    I used to go to water aerobics on post, and it was a great way to meet some great people! It's a little intimidating at first, but it gets easier. I was kinda like you as far as living on my own before getting married and depending on my husband now. It forced me to step out of my comfort zone a lot.
