Why I'm Here

So, aside from a brief Livejournal escapade and some random drunken blogs on Myspace, I've never done a daily blog. I decided I wanted to do one to document my Weight Watchers journey and goals (although I'm over a year into the process) and also document my house saga.

I began Weight Watchers in January 2007 at a weight of ____. (You actually thought I was going to tell you what I weight - HA! I haven't told ANYONE what I weight when I began). Anyhow, I've lost about 75 lbs. since. I haven't been as committed as I should have in recent months - my first excuse was Julia's wedding and related festivities, and the second was the gum graft surgery I had a couple of weeks ago. Now that I'm over both of those, I'm going to be doing a weekly goal for myself and posting here for accountability. This weeks goal is 150 minutes of activity - I've been unable to exercise since I had the gum graft and haven't exercised hard-core since Julia's wedding, so I'm easing myself back into it.

Brax and I started our house saga in April 2007. We began by looking at modular home to put on some land my parents gave to us. We moved to deciding to custom build a home, and after over a year of meeting with the contractor, glitches and arguments over tiny stuff, we are ready to take everything to the bank to sign our lives away. So many people have asked about the status of our house that I figure I can update every more quickly with blog posts.

OK, so here goes. I'll be updating my blog at least a couple times a week for my WW accountability as well as updates on the house process.
