New Title, New Me

So, wondering about the change of title?!?!? Well, over the past few years, I've shared a few things on this blog about myself, but not a lot. You know about my passion for shopping (and great deals), that my father died from Alzheimer's disease (another passion of mine), but what you don't know is that I've always struggled with my weight. And when I mean always, I mean for as long as I can remember (3rd grade or so). So I've decided to change gears a little and speak to you about things that I've become passionate about in the last 8 or so months and that would be getting healthy. Of course from time to time, I'll add a post or 2 about other passions. But I think that it's time that I can use this blog for something really good, and that's helping others that have the same fears, resentment, anger and disappointment about their weight.

So what about the title of this post, well, I guess you can say that over the last 8 months, a new me has really emerged. I discovered that my blood pressure was high, I am borderline diabetic (runs in the family) and that I was totally ticked about the way I looked in pictures, just for starters, so while J was on one of his missions, I decided to make some changes, first to my attitude, 2nd to my "diet" and 3rd my exercise habits. And because of these changes and a lot of help from the good Lord above, I've gone from a size 14 to a size 4 or 6. What I'll be talking about in the blog is my journey on this "Road to the New Me." And hopefully, it will made sense to someone, somewhere and it will help. So for now, stay tuned. And remember that we're going to take this journey together, so don't ever think that you're alone.

Blessings & Healthly Eating,
