Today was the day I decided to start a blog. Life is full of todo lists and grateful lists and being good and being happy, bla, bla, bla. Today to make myself a better person a happier more satisfied better person I decided to start a blog.
I almost quit before I started but that really doesn't give you a sense of accomplishment, just failure and discontent. So I persevered and did it :).
The big stumbling block, I can't believe this, was finding a name. It seems everyone has put starting a blog on their todo list and all the great names I could think of, I don't consider myself a very creative person so this was not easy, where all taken. I tried to come up with something that had stuck in my head and this was it. Anyone who was a Cheers fan will remember this quote I think said by Kirstie Allen who I always have loved as an actress because she makes the best crazy people.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Paola (yes that's the spelling but I pronounce it the regular way because otherwise leaving messages is a pain in the butt) I am 41 years old, married for 16 years and have a 3 year old son. I make my living as a dog trainer and currently own three dogs. I fought weight my entire life and currently tip the scales at 277lbs. Losing weight has been a lifelong goal and the good bad and ugly side of it will come up often as I write. I started a new diet on January 14, 2012 and have currently lost 36 lbs, which is very satisfying.
My goal is to ramble and hopefully find other people who answer back. I will write something I am grateful for in every post. I will write something I have accomplished in every post. Other than that let's just see where I end up.
