This weekend awesomely sucked…..
So my boyfriend’s sister got married this weekend. It was an amazing wedding. But it didn’t do anything for my dieting…. Between the rehearsal dinner and the wedding…. lots of good fattening food! (I tracked it all though!)
Whatever happens at my weigh-in on Tuesday was totally worth it. Hopefully I lose the .2 lbs that I need to hit my 15 lbs though.
Today is weigh in day…
ME TOO!!!!

Getting started….
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Ashley.
I am:
- 24.5
- from Kentucky
- a single mom of an almost 4 year old
- a full-time social work student (1.5 semesters left!)
- working part-time in a residential treatment program for teenage girls
- dating a firefighter
- a volunteer at several locations
- living at home with my parents
- addicted to my kindle
- slightly addicted to Star Wars
- about as busy as my sanity can handle
But enough about all of that…. the point of this blog is for my to record my experiences with weight loss. Today, I went to my first weight watchers meeting with my mom. I need to lose about 40-50 pounds and hopefully I will.
In this blog, I plan on recording my progress for all to see. As well as using the blog to rant and rave about the factors in my life that are going to affect my progress.
I am completely open to suggestions and encouragement….. but if you would like to leave snide comments please make them funny…. If I am going to get insulted, I at least want to laugh.
I hope to entertain you with my life as I lose it…. weight and probably my sanity.
This is wrong. But kinda funny.

Music is, to me, proof of the existence of God. It is so extraordinarily full of magic, and in tough times of my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference. ”

I’ll go out there and make my mistakes. I’ll fall down, get hurt, cry, laugh, love, and get back up. I’ll stand on the highest mountaintop and go into the deepest caverns. I’ll roam across the world, visit the moon and swim in outer space. I’ll let my imagination run wild and let my spirit soar. Why? Because when my life flashes before my eyes in those final moments, I want to have something worthwhile to watch, with plenty of love and laughter, good times and bad. I don’t want to regret a thing and I plan not to. Remember, it’s not usually the things you do that you regret, it’s the things you don’t do and leave unsaid. Laugh out loud. Cry in the rain. Love with all your heart and soul. Get hurt. Tell the truth. Go crazy. But never forget that you only get one shot. One shot at this day, one shot at this minute. One shot at this age. One shot at life. So make sure your life is one you will enjoy watching in your final moments. ”
