Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, friends!  I've been contemplating a blog for many months now.  Almost 18 months ago I made a decision to change my life.  Since then I've lost over 100 pounds. People ask me all the time how I did it and they want tips and tricks.  Truth is, there is no tips or tricks.  There is no easy fix.  It takes working at it all day-- everyday.  I'm now in "maintenance mode" I've lost the weight and now I have to maintain it.  Which, has been an even bigger challenge.  I'm a foodie.  I love food and I love trying new types of food and restaurants.  So, right now....I'm learning about balance.  Still working hard, but not going overboard and still enjoying life and food.  Also, I'm a devoted full time mama and wife.  I take pride in taking care of my family and doing it well.  So, sometimes my days are packed full with taking care of them, working out and cooking healthy meals.  So, this is my life.  It's a balancing act. :)  This blog will be a combo of things.  I will talk about continuing on this journey of living a healthy life, I will share recipes, I will share fun things I do with my daughter.  Oh and probably lots of pictures in between.  So,  welcome and I hope you all jump on board with me! :)
