      I hope everyone enjoyed their father's day weekend! Daddy's are the best!

           This weekend my fiance, Thad, and I (and of course LULU) went to Cedar Bluff to spend a couple of days on Lake Weiss with his family. While I was there, his two older sister (Buffy and Celia) asked me if I wanted to join them in a weight loss challenge, and of course I jumped at the opportunity. Why, you ask? Well if you know me, you know why! I recently just had a baby, and I have put on quite a bit of extra weight. I have always been a person who has to work at keeping a healthy weight, unfortunately high metabolism isn't in my DNA. The problem with my weight loss routine is, if I do not feel challenged, I WILL NOT do it. If I feel like I am, in the word's of Charlie Sheen, "WINNING", I will try a lot harder. Everyone involved set there own goal and whoever reaches the highest percentile of their goal wins (since everyone weighs different amounts, this makes it fair).  The wager is that the winner gets paid 50 bucks from all the losers........

     Well I wanted to take it one step further... I decided in order to get the best outcome for myself, which is loosing 60LBS.. I want to also be accountable to my social networking friends and my blog readers! I am going to daily post my exercise routines and meal plans, and frequently post pictures of myself to show my progress. Please leave me comments of encouragement to let me know that people are reading this and are routing for me to reach my goal!!!! ALSO I WANT TO WIN THAT MONEY HONEYS! First post coming up soon!!!!

The first one...

Hello everyone out there in the blogging world! I have never tried to have a blog before, which some of my friends find weird because I have always been obsessed with journalism! I decided that I now need an outlet to vent out all my ideas, sometimes my problems, and sometimes I just need to, well, BITCH! I guess my first post should tell a little bit about myself... so here I go..

 Once upon a time, in the far away land of Alabama, lived a girl named Paige. She grew up in a small town, attended a small university, and now she lives in the land of Gadsden. She met the love of her life, Sir Thad, in the communications department of Jacksonville State. It was just like a fairytale. Now, they live together with their  five month old daughter, Lucy.

Yeah..
