Who's going to hold you accountable?

Better yet, who's going to hold me accountable for keeping up with my new years resolutions?

Me that's who. Wait no I'm lying, I'm not that strong on my own...but maybe, just maybe if I start a journal of my eating and fitness habits and I'm forced to look at it every day then, maybe I'll get closer to holding myself accountable? Yup, I say that with a questions because (if we're being honest here) it may just be an epic fail.But I have to start somewhere right? So well here's what I eat and what I try not to eat.

It's young, it's fresh but most importantly it's honest. I don't expect you to read it or follow it but to keep me accountable for my actions, I had to share.

Please forgive me, especially for breaking up with a certain someone something.

Minne Monday

It is Minne Monday, but I thought I'd give our little ham a break from all the camera flashes and share this blog with you. It's all about Boston Terriers, not sure why I didn't find it on my own but I am very thankful for my good pal Jessica, who always has my back! Thanks girlie!

Using Real names in Blogs

What do you think about using real names in blogs? I find myself struggling to remember to change names or shorten to initials or to go by nicknames. I like the idea of keeping some items like names secret because I know there are lots of crazies in the world. Should I keep my current stance and shy away from real names or is it ok to move to the usage of the first names?

Why I Blog

I’ve been mulling over the idea of starting a blog for some time now. The truth is, the timing just never seemed right, I was either busy or I would attempt to start one and could never think of a name. I have had a Google Reader account for almost 2 years and still no blog. After my husband and I got engaged I subscribed to every wedding blog I could find. My husband even started his own “comical” wedding blog from his perspective, but even then the time didn’t seem right. Recently, I’ve been following more personal blogs and house decorating blogs which I enjoy reading, but couldn’t find the urge to start writing.

Then it happened. A few days back I got an invitation to showcase my last year in photos on Facebook and as silly as it may seem, I figured why not. When I saw all the photos come together from 2009, I realized that besides the rough year my husband, family and friends had gone through, we still managed to do some really awesome things. Later that day, I was driving to work and heard a radio dj talking about his favorite memories of the decade and that really had me thinking. What if all the bad times cloud the good times? How will I remember all the good times? Then it hit me, it was time.

I plan on blogging from here on out about all the good things past and present. It may be a rocky start, but I hope you stay with me.
