Come one, come all...

Back when Myspace was cool, I blogged like it was going out of style. Years later, I don’t have the Myspace account anymore, but I did save my blogs. Looking back, most were just ramblings of a passive aggressive 20-something finding her way in love and life. It’s really interesting to watch my growth over the years of writing. I went from a recent college grad, living alone in Atlanta, to a slave of the corporate world back in middle Tennessee. My love life had its ups and downs, but through it all, I found blogging to be a cathartic way of working through some of that angst in a creative, witty and yes, sometimes, bitchy way.

So here I am. Years later. Facebook is now my vice. The love life is perfect in every way. No more angst, but still passive-aggressive with an occasional bitchy side. (I think we all have our days.) I’ve gone from worrying about career choices to bigger decisions as a married unit. But one thing remains – a desire to be a healthier, fit Jenn.

Hence the start of this blog.

Years back, I attended a Catholic women’s conference with my mom. The speaker that year said something that I have saved in the back of my day planner and refer to every now and then.

         “God’s Dream for me is to become a better version of myself.”

It struck me, because while I have grown intensely content with my life, I know there is always something that could use a little more... shine. So now I’m focusing on my journey of weight-loss with an overall desire to become more fit and healthy.

So here's to brushing off my dusty blogging skills, to document this journey that will hopefully lead me to a brighter better version of myself….
