True Confessions

Let’s see….I am making some changes around here. Yeap. Shut down the doors to My Basement Blog. For several reasons. The biggest being that I was sick of the nastiness at the other community. It seemed that everyone that I used to read over there was full of nastiness. I was afraid that it might spread to me. So I left. I am not chicken. I am not afraid of conflict…but I am afraid of being around grumpy assed whiny people. I don’t want to catch what they have. At. All. So I left.

I started that blog to journal my life changes. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to put that all up over here. I was afraid of ruining the glorious image that I have created for myself in the blog world. Who the hell am I kidding? I have a handful of readers that come here…most of which I know would never judge me. The others…they know me in real life. So.

Truth is, I am fat and unhealthy. I think the little BMI calculator actually said I was obese but I am not being petty. I am on a journey to lose 48 more pounds. That wasn’t the purpose of my other blog though. I am also making some MAJOR life changes. In my effort to get healthy, I am giving up things that I have had my whole life. I am adding new habits into the mix. I thought it might be fun to have that documented somewhere. Because I am weird like that.

I read a book this past week that is changing my life. It will be the prompting for many of my posts on this topic. Skinny Bitch. It’s Amazing. The book is NOT about getting skinny. It’s about making changes in your life to get healthy. I will write a bigger review on this one later. I am 36. I have a horrible family history. Diabetes. Heart Disease. Cancer. If it’s bad, we have it there. I don’t think it’s too late for me to make a difference with myself. My journey begins. I am giving up and adding one thing to my life each week. Giving up something that is considered a vice. Unhealthy. Adding something that is good for me. This week: giving up sodas AND coffee. Adding: an hour of exercise each day. It’s Tuesday. I am having a hard time with the coffee thing. Ya know, when you know you can’t have something….that’s all you think about. Yep. I see it in every cup. I even smelled it this morning. I was ready to kill my husband. I thought for sure he got up and made a pot just to torture me. And he actually loves and supports me. My plan was to switch to an herbal tea instead of coffee. I didn’t think I should do that until I had gone my week. I think I was wrong. I will keep you posted.

I am not going to bore you with my fat ass stories every day here. I do an official weigh day on Fridays. I will post the skinny posts after weigh in.

I am making some changes around blogville though. I have never blogged with my full efforts to grow my readership. I have never been about the numbers. I am not going to do that now either. I am going to do some more Pay Per Post entries. I am going to review stuff that I find that is cool. Or incredibly crazy. I participate in the Thursday Thirteen and hopefully, if I don’t forget, I will be doing the once monthly Free For All Friday as well. I am also putting up a meme of my own that I hope to get my readers participating in. Be sure to go check it out and plan on participating. A link up would be nice too. I am doing what I want. You can take it or piss off. So basically, nothing is changing. 

Now that I have that out of the way, We have a tropical storm heading our way. I am turning on the web cam for you all. (sidebar – little pink box. Or you can click here and see it big) So be sure to check out shit flying through my backyard. Let’s just hope its not the new garden that the kids and I just put in yesterday. Ciao.
