INTRODUCTION. .....TAKE 2

SO THE MOVE IS FINALLY OVER.
I can now just leisurely unpack and decorate my new house. What a relief ...I felt like this move really took a toll on my body. I made my first meal in the new place last night...an early birthday dinner... my children and their significant others came over ...it was wonderful :) :)

So...I'm a little bummed out...I have been saving for a camera for the last couple months ..but as we all know money can be tight especially with a new move. It's okay though...I'm only $139.00 away....I will get there. So I had been waiting to finish my move and to have hopefully bought the camera by this time to do make a second introduction. ..my take two . I was hoping to video blog and actually talk to you all and introduce you to my quirky personality lol. But I am excited to get started so I am going to go ahead and do it as is :)

So when I made my first introduction...I was going to share my story about my crazy life . My past with filled with way more abuse then one person should have to endure. Growing up watching violence in my home. ..being molested at the young age of seven. Hospital stays for many suicide attempts... spending 3 years in a group home and finally...entering into a 20 year physical and verbally abusive marriage . BUT...I felt like a "Debbie Downer" . It didn't make me feel better like I thought it would...so I thought I would go a more positive route. One that would not only benefit myself but others as well...also a more interactive approach.

Okay ...so I'm 5'10 and I've always been thin ..which is about 160 lbs for my height and frame. But ... in my last 10 years I have put on ALOT of weight. Stress eating...food became my comfort...my crutch and my drug of choice. As I posted earlier... today is my 44th birthday and I am definitely in the heart attack and stroke age of my life and I am DEFINITELY at risk. I just found out 2 months ago I am pre diabetic ..my doctor didnt take any action because she believed losing weight and changing my lifestyle would help.

So I was hoping to share my weight loss journey here on Steemit with my amazing followers...I can definitely use the support :) I want to show my weigh ins live....which will be embarrassing at first because I'm very embarrassed of my weight. I also want to journal my food and exercise logs and lots of before and now photos.

Of course I want to lose weight for my health and longevity. ..but I also want to feel sexy, energetic and most of all have a better self esteem and gain self confidence!! I had stopped living my life and wrote it off as over...I WANT TO LIVE LIFE OUT LOUD!!

And this is also where a camera comes into play...I love food. Delicious and Decadent food. I love to cook and I love to eat...as my big butt will show you lol :) And one thing I'm very good at besides cooking is tweaking recipes. I can take an unhealthy dish and make healthier and still be delicious and decadent and I can take a healthy recipe that is well not so flavorful and make it delicious without adding fat and excess calories. I would love to make posts with videos of me making these dishes and showing the finalized product along with recipes. But most of all I thought it would be fun to make it interactive as well and sometimes you can send me your favorite recipes that you grew up on and I can make a make a post revamping your recipe .

I really love cooking. You will see this soon enough with the holidays coming. Fall and winter are my favorite times of the year...I love the holidays....I will be posting with fun videos throughout. Maybe one day I will be on Chopped :)

IN CLOSING....

I will be doing other random posts as well...my 365 project... a picture a day showing what I was grateful for that day. Random vacations or even staycations ...for those of you who have never been to Las Vegas...and just random other posts :)

Thank you for reading my ramblings. As always much love from Vegas !!

P.S I did a verification in my first introduction :)
