It Has Begun

Here I am. Jumping on the bandwagon and getting my Blog on. It is, of course, going to be skewed to weight loss/fitness/lifestyle as those are my current obsessions. My family is always my main priority but I figure they can all start their own damn blogs if they want their 15 minutes, right?

To catch you up I started out last year weighing 225 lbs. In January of 2009 I applied for and was chosen as a contestant on Atlanta's Biggest Loser. I was picked by Sule Welch to be a member of the Pink Team and he was the coach. We worked out 5 days a week and got Good Measure Meals for as long as we remained in the contest. After 12 weeks I was the winner for the Pink Team and I'd lost 39 lbs. This meant I was still fat. I mean HUGE! Thus began my weight loss journey and the impetus for this blog.

The name comes from my goal of getting to 100 lbs. lost (I am at 85 lbs. lost now) and the fact that I am dyeing my hair purple when I get there. And getting a tattoo. Ok, I'm not sold on the tattoo but I'm really considering it. But I want a dragon tattoo and then I'll be like the Stieg Larsson book that's hugely popular right now. Gosh darn it, Stieg beat me to it.

I promise to get pix up and get all linky and stuff on you but right now it's 10pm and I have to finish a Netflix movie that I've had for a month. I am a movie slacker lately. And then I have to get my ass to bed as I worked out for an hour and a half today and I know I need rest. I'm going to post about what's worked for me so far and about the draconian lengths I am going to have to go to to get these last 15 lbs. off. But I am going to do it. Come on along for the ride.
