My name is Joanna and I will be talking about random topics and my journey of weight loss.
I live in Chicago and I'm a Barista for Starbucks, and I have been there for a bit over three years. I have a great family and I'm the only one that is not married yet. I have not found the right guy just yet.
In April of 2009 I was told that I needed to lose weight, and I could look great. My sister Monica was pushing me towards Weight Watcher. I gave in and a year later and 48 pounds off my joints I am looking and feeling better than ever!.
Over the last few years I have hit some walls, but I have been able to keep the weight off. Now I'm at the toughest wall. I have been trying to hit the 50 pound mark for the last eight weeks. I feel that this blog will help me to get past my wall and towards my actual weight goal.
I will be offline from this Thursday to Sunday night, because I will be at a Convention. ACen is like my vacation from life, despite working it. I know I will be off plan, and I need a decent plan. Do I take my workout gear and hit the gym at the hotel? Or do I just forget it and go low point Monday- Thursday? I am really leaning towards working out, well it is my real time to myself. When I hit the workout room in my building I only take my keys and my trusty water bottle. I leave the phone in my room, and I turn on the WGN morning news.
Anyways I need to get going! TTYL!
