About Me

Me, spring 2011. Drinking Starbucks while the hubs ran his first 5k.


Hi, I'm Betsy. I'm 29 33, originally from WV, but currently living in Pittsburgh. I have a wonderful life with an amazing husband and beautiful son.

I'm also overweight. Probably, according to the  BMI charts in the doctor's office, obese. (Wow, it's rough to actually write that.) I was successful on Weight Watchers about six years ago, losing 30 pounds that crept back on. Then I got pregnant and gained around 30ish pounds. After my son was born in December 2009, I lost around 20 pounds, and it stopped. Until now.

It's time to make a change. So many of the health and fitness blogs I follow are developed by people who have successfully made a change and are offering tips to people like me. I want to use my little part of cyberspace to chronicle my fitness journey from the ground up.

So what do I want?
No blanket  "lose weight" goals here. Sure, I want the number on the scale to go down; but more importantly, I want to get healthy. I want to enjoy the moments in my life, not just watch them pass by. And I want to be here with my son and my husband for a long, long time.
