About Me

I realize that I have no idea what I'm doing. Bare with me (an invitation to undress!!) Yes, I know it's supposed to be "bear with me."

About me...hmmm...I'm obviously not that interesting but you're here so I might as well entertain you with what is my story.

I graduated high school in the fine year of 1998 and joined the Navy. My parents gave me a choice of go to college or join the military. Option #2 got me out of the house and away from them. Not that they were bad parents or anything, I was just an asshole amazing daughter that wanted to see the world. The Navy graciously sent me to Hawaii to serve my four years. (I know right?!)

In 2002, I got pregnant, married the FBG husband, and got out of the Navy with an honorable discharge because my time was up. I lived in Hawaii another three years with the new baby and two teenage step kids. We moved to VA because the Navy said hubby had to before he retired. A couple years later he was allowed to retire and we settled in North Carolina.

I never ran again after my final PRT (Physical Readiness Test) at the beginning of 2002. I had three kids of my own between then and now so imagine the weight gain there. I ate like I was still in the Navy and working out every day but I wasn't working out every day. I was just eating and eating and eating...I realize this may have been a problem.

This brings us to now...and how I am about to lose 115 pounds of incredibly excess body fat that put me in the "morbidly obese" category. Welcome to my journey.
