Hi everyone!  I'm bad at intros, so let's just jump into it: I have a little girl, a husband and I live in the boonies of North Carolina. I also take lots of photos.   I decided to accept this challenge because I've always been a wanna-be health nut.  I constantly talk about living a healthy lifestyle, but don't actually LIVE one.  This past Christmas my sister-in-law mentioned how she admired my love for healthy food and healthy living (she told me that while I was, honest to goodness, woofing down my second large piece of pie) and it clicked that I can't just act like I love to eat and live healthily--I have to actually live it!

And so, here we are two weeks after the start of the challenge, and it's been rough.  I'm currently PMSing, I hate that I set a bedtime for myself, and I'm SICK OF WORKING OUT! But I keep thinking, "Once you do this, you'll feel so much better!  You'll look so much better! And you want to be healthy for Reese's and Andrew's sake!" So, just ten minutes ago I consciously decided against going to my cupboard to grab some chocolate chips for a late snack (the only sweet food I am keeping in my apartment to cut down temptation!)--and get this! I drank water instead!

This is hard, ladies.  I want to stop, but I don't want to go back to how I was living before.  I'm excited to have more energy, be happier, and live healthier.  Best of luck to everyone!!
