New year, new blog contemplation

It has been another crazy start to another new year! I have had 3 snow days from work in 3 weeks, 2 of which the practice closed the office, the other I couldn't get out of my street! So I thouight i'd take this time to post a new entry, which I haven't done in forever.

This year was the start of me getting back on track with my workouts. I also wanted to lose the 5 lbs I gained in my stressful year last year! Things are going great with it. I'm continuing with my pilates/stability ball workouts, which are really getting my core and abs in to shape! My goal is to lose the 5 lbs before Ginger's wedding (1 lb to go!), and continue getting in shape for the rest of the year. So far so good!

With getting back in to my workout and nutrition routine, and viewing other's endeavors online and at work, I started getting frustrated. So many people are so uneducated on nutrition especially! Then I noticed people going all gung ho in workouts and being sore all the time. Again, not having the information necessary. So I started thinking if only there was a way I could help educate people on nutrition, and let them know that you don't have to go to extremes to lose weight. Also, that nutrition to lose weight and keep it off is a lifetime choice, and that "diets" don't work because as soon as you go off of them you gain the weight back. Not to mention that some of these "diets" are dangerous and unhealthy.

I considered a book, but this time in my life I don't have the time or the resources to write one. But these ideas were still eating at me (no pun intended). So then I got an idea: what about a blog? That way I can break my ideas up into different entries. It will also help show the main point in my nutrition ideas, which is educate yourself and make little changes at a time. Those small changes will build to be a complete overhaul of your diet, where as completely changing your eating habits overnight will be both overwhelming and difficult to stick with. It will also give me a chance to get feedback from all walks of life, both about what they think about the blog and what their needs are. I want this to not only help people lose weight, but get EVERYONE, young, old, fat, skinny, eating a healthy diet and avoiding health issues that go along with a poor diet like diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

So, that's where I am with it now. Right now i'm stuck on coming up with a title and web address name for my blog! Once I get past that hurdle i'll be set to go!
