And so it begins...

Having only been married since October I guess you could say we are still in the "honeymoon phase". Jason (my husband) and I have been working on his great grandparents home for several years now and it has definitely been a task! Currently we are finishing up the trim in the dining room. I really wish that we had taken before and after pictures because the house is slowly but surely becoming "Our Home".

The picture above not only describes the whole renovating/ remodeling process, it also describes the process of marriage, and the weight loss journey that I am currently on.It feels so weird putting this out there for all of you to read, but I am on a journey; one that I wish I would have started while I was in college and life wasn't so hard. My goal is to lose 75 to 100 pounds. I know when some of my friends hear that they are like there is no way that you need to lose that much but in all honesty I do. I am currently involved in a small support group and we just finished up a 6 week challenge. I only lost 9 pounds, but it was a very eye opening experience.

The hardest part of this for me is lacking the support of my husband. He doesn't really eat healthy food or scale back on the portions. In return this makes the whole process stressful and very hard to do. I also blame his love for ice cream and the fact that we have to keep it in our house! LOL.

I hope to post more soon, I feel like by putting everything out there for y'all to read is going to help me not only hold myself accountable, but also help me along this journey! Please feel free to comment, just please be nice! :)

p.s. Here is a picture of our trim and the color I stained it!
