About Me and Why I am Blogging

About Me:

  • I feel I am just an ordinary gal with some extraordinary purpose on this planet.
  • I was born and raised in a tiny suburb in Los Angeles County.
  • I am in my early 30s, married and have 2 cats.
  • I met the love of my life when I was 14 years old but we "couldn't stand each other" then.  We started dating when we were 18, engaged at 24, married at 26.  He's an amazing guy, love him so dearly!
  • People often feel compelled to ask why we don't have children yet.  It's not that we don't want them, we just haven't conceived them yet!
  • I work as an accounting clerk at a custom carpet shop.
  • I love to cook and bake.  I am rather intrigued by food, I can read, watch, eat, live food all day long.
  • I have a fascination with all the outer beauty trappings such as makeup, nail polish and even fashion.  I wasn't always this way, but in recent years I have fallen in love with these things.
  • I am a fan of chick lit, but I only admit that I don't read as much as I could.
  • I really love spending time with my friends--eating, cooking, watching movies, "doing" crafts.  You'll have to know that I suck big time at crafts, although I do dabble in cake decorating.  My idea of scrapbooking involves me going to Shutterfly and "cut and pasting" my book online.
  • I have a cheesy sense of humor, and I am a hopeless romantic.
  • I try to maintain a positive outlook, and foster a positive environment, the kind that helps others do the same.
  • I am on a journey in discovering the real me, and loving myself just as I am.


Why I Blog:

  • First and foremost, I am not an expert on any topic I discuss.  I only speak from my experience, and that of what my friends and family have shared with me.  So, anything I write is not intended to cure, fix or any other expectation one might have.
  • This is a place to keep my recipes: New recipes I've found and tried, things I came up with on my own in my kitchen I liked, cooking and baking adventures with friends.  I love to experiment in the kitchen, and this is the place in which I will keep the recipes that worked, and to share what didn't.
  • A place to journal my thoughts throughout my fitness journey and to share my experiences.  I hope my struggles help others realize that it is not easy, and that they are not alone.  Knowing how to eat right and what exercises I can do isn't the hard part.  The hard part is making yourself think you can do something, and to keep on with it.
  • Personal thoughts may be chronicled.  My family life, relationship with my husband and bonds with friends are sometimes questioned, sometimes revelations are made.  Whatever may be troubling me will be discussed, but hopefully I will be sharing in the joy more often then the pain.
  • Products I love.  I do not receive things from companies, but if I purchase or receive something as a gift I really love, or something that was so horrible the whole free world should be informed of, I may review it on my blog.
