Day 1

Hiiiiiiiiii so I have decided to start a blog and record my weight loss journey! I'm really excited. Thus far, I haven't really been able to regularly update my blogs, but I have high hopes for this one. Well, I supposed introductions are a bit necessary. My name is leslie, and I have just graduated from college with a degree in sociology. I loved every moment of that entire experience, and I'm a little sad that it's all over, but honestly I wouldn't have changed anything...well except for gaining so much weight..ha ha ha (you can't tell, but that was supposed to be my cheesy laugh). Anyway, so I've been trying to lose weight since September and it went really great for the first couple of months, just like it always does, or so I've heard for dieters. I lost about 17 pounds with a complete diet change and little exercise. It was great! But, I'm going to be completely honest with you, I love food so so much. I'm not quite sure what I would do without it. The holidays were rough, and I did fail at staying on my diet. Now February has darn gone and come around. I'm going to start eating the way I used to in September and October in addition to exercising. I'm quite thrilled to see the results. I will keep you all updated with posts of my progress and what kinds of foods I'm eating as well as what exercises I find to be the most rewarding! Usually, I like to end with a "Song-of-the-Day" but right now I will leave one of the most hilarious clips from a show favorite of mine, Parks and Recreation:

Love and all that,
