I Have an Excuse!

Yes, I have been absent for a while. I know that I promised to write more and then promptly stopped writing. I do have an excuse!

I started another blog. Yes, I do feel like a dirty cheater, but it's turned out quite nicely for me. Remember how I was whining about not having a purpose for my blog? Ding ding ding! I have a special purpose! (For those of you who haven't seen The Jerk with Steve Martin...you need to.)

Since I got married I started gaining weight. I'm convinced marriage makes you fat. You know what makes you even fatter? Pregnancy! My son is now 9 months old (can you believe it?!) and I am still rather...large. Or at least I feel that way.

I started a diet. It actually is going pretty well. However, I knew I needed accountability...and I had a couple of people ask me how I was doing it...and all of a sudden, I had my purpose!

So I started all over again with my brand new weight loss blog. My blog is about dieting in a realistic fashion by making small life long changes that build on each other. In the process, I have lost 6 pounds and am averaging 1 pound per week! Not bad, considering the lack of effort I've had to put into my diet.

How am I doing it? Well, you'll just have to join my cheating ways and read the blog to find out. :)
