So this blogging thing...
Is something I’m pretty terrible at. I keep wanting to make these massive posts about my progress (which one is certainly do) but I’m thinking smaller little updates are easier for me. So I’m planning on a huge update on my first 3 weeks with my trainer later on today …I’ve got it about half way done already… and then I’ll probably post little blurbs here...

I think I’m thoroughly afraid of the pain I’m going to be into tomorrow during my workout. After the lunges and squats I did yesterday - I could barely walk today. Here’s hoping my leg muscles feel better in the morning!

An Update
So my life has been utterly crazy. And I have been without internet for the past five days (as I’ve been out of town).

Healthy Living: Hello & Welcome
Let me introduce myself: I’m Melissa. And this is a new start (obviously) for me. What am I starting? I’m committing to starting a new journey on the road to healthy living. I’m going to attempt to be as transparent as possible here - because I want to be honest with myself and you (my reader). I’m going to use this space in two ways: firstly, as a check-in for myself (and...
