I am no good at this. These introductions. I find it difficult to properly explain things unless asked about them, but I'll do my best and give a little. Hopefully enough that if someone wants to know more, they'll ask. :-)

I'm here because I like to record things. I find it difficult to maintain my willpower without a plan, so this site is my best attempt at a plan. I gained 60 delightfully jiggling pounds from my pregnancy, 8 of which belonged to my son. The rest is mine and follows me around like a big sack of pudding attached to my *kitten*. My sensational hubby recently bought me a new treadmill on which I've been running 2.5 miles a day faithfully with the exception of this very weekend because everyone needs a break from shin splints am I right?

I don't personally enjoy discussing diet so I won't, but I like taking about recipes. I also enjoy talking about philosophy and psychology and their impacts on health and what people deem ideal in physicality. I want to document my progress and not-so-progressive comings. I like the support I've read on other topics and want to be supportive. You guys are awesome and I think I can do this. I am currently 200 pounds and want to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 150...eventually.it is going to take some work but I am more than prepared for the journey. So....here we go.
