I'm a lover not a fighter but I'm putting my dukes up!

Hello World!

My name is Marci but my friends and family call me Mars. It's nice to meet you. Today is a BIG day for me. Why? Well let me answer that question in the shortest way possible. I am taking the reins back on my life and am ready to work my butt off to feel mentally and physically healthy. This is usually the time of year when I feel this way, crappy, tired, and self conscious. But why do I feel so much more crappy than I have in than in the years past? Well last year I started the year off all GUNG Ho about changing my lifestyle. I was at an all time high weighing in at 182. This is the heaviest I have EVER been in my life besides when I was pregnant. So its been a full year since then and guess what I am weighing in at now... 176. Now I know the number on the scale shouldn't matter but I am only 5'6 and I am not healthy so this has got to change. My healthy weight where I feel good and comfortable in my own skin is 145. Now this is before I had my child so I am not sure what my healthy number is but I am ready to find out.

The purpose of this blog is to chronicle my life events, my ups and downs and everything in between. I also want to gain support from like minded people trying to better themselves. I hope I can bring some support to you if you are on the same journey. Lets work hard to make this year our year and change our lifestyle to one that we can feel happy leading!

Till my next post,

xoxo

Introduction

Hello All!

I'm very excited to start my very own blog. This has been something that i've wanted to do for a very long time and I'm glad it's finally being done. So there are 3 reasons why I am starting this blog and they are as follows: 1) Big events in my life 2) Ability to empty out my brain 3) Let people know of some great ideas!

So FIRST-- what are these big events that I'm writing about? Well my husband and I are going to have our first baby, this baby does not have fur like our other two! We are over the moon about this! So many things are going through my mind but I'm trying to take things day by day :) I am going to be 7 weeks tomorrow!
Here is a picture of my husband and I so you can get to know us a little better:

Tony and I met almost 4 years ago and this December 2011 will be our 3rd anniversary. We are young, I am only 21 and he is 22 but when you know its right you just know. I whole heartedly believe that!
We met in college here in Texas and i'm so glad we had that same English class. Weird how things happen, right?
This was just a short introduction and I look forward to continue posting and blogging. I would love ideas to write about and let me know what you would like to read about! I'm open about the subjects I write about, I think this will be pretty random. Thanks for joining me on my life journey!
