Why a Bombshell? (or Yay, I’m Still Blogging)

Why do I want to be a bombshell? Well, the idea started from watching “Smash” and Megan Hilty. Megan Hilty has the bombshell body that the characters want to play Marilyn Monroe.

So I started thinking, what bombshell body do I want to have? Then it hit me, I don’t need to have a bombshell body, I need to have the confidence of someone with a bombshell body. And that’s how I came up with the idea of becoming a bombshell.

One of the things I need to have this confidence is better health. I know that I’m not healthy at my current weight and I wish I could do more things than I can. Some of my limitations are due to my bad hips (that’s a story for another blog post), but I know that I can do more if I get healthier. So that’s what I’m focusing on for now.

My goal this week, is to eat only what I’ve prepared at home or at a nice restaurant (my Girls Night Out group is going to Magic Castle this week so I have to allow for that restaurant). Every day, I’ve been eating breakfast and packing my lunch to take to work. When you only get 30 minutes for lunch, it’s so much nicer when you don’t have to go out and get your food somewhere.

That’s it for today! I’m off to make my lunch for work.

Hello (or Tomorrow Never Comes)

I’ve been putting off writing this post for a long time. I wanted to wait until I had an idea of what this blog would be about, or when I had my page looking beautiful, or when I had something amazing to write, or after I had written a lot of posts offline and then was able to post them all at once…

Procrastination sucks.

So, here I am writing this post finally. I don’t know exactly what to say, but I’m saying something. I created this blog because I wanted to find a way to keep me accountable as I try to lose weight (for the millionth time) and as I try to start being more financially responsible. Turns out, being overweight and having credit card debit can be related (http://www.fivecentnickel.com/2010/11/10/debt-and-obesity-whats-the-connection/).

So here I am trying to create a healthy lifestyle and checkbook at the same time. Hope you enjoy my journey. I’m not quite sure where it’s going, but it’s going somewhere.
