This blog started on May 13, 2012 as the documentation of my weight loss journey coupled with a campaign to raise money for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina for every pound I could lose by Nov. 1. It worked great. I lost 53 pounds and raised over $53,000. I have continued the blog since the weight loss journey is never really over. I have lost a total of 100 pounds so far and will continue to write everyday until I just run out of things to say. You never know what you will get with this blog, it might be a funny story, a lighter recipe or an insight. Whatever it is I hope you will smile and learn something. I love to hear from readers so feel free to send me comments. Knowing you are reading keeps me committed to the journey.
