first post!

So I decided to start a new blog! Thoughts From the Nest still exists, but I figured this would be a better fit for me now. Leave the past in the past and all, new year new me, resolutions, all that cliche stuff! So what is this blog about?

-The random things that occur in my life. For example, my sister Marie and brother-in-law Bo are expecting their second child (a boy!) this March! I transferred to Texas State in San Marcos, my other sister Laura goes here, my mom recently moved to Austin, Bo and Marie live in Austin and it's all so close I just decided what the heck let's do this! ACU wasn't really working out for me anyway, and this was an option so I chose it. I'll miss my boyfriend and my friends, and knowing where everything is!

-The clothes I wear. Okay let's be real here, they're not THAT exciting but I like them and I think they're neat. You should too!

-My weight loss journey. When I started college I weighed 25 less pounds than I do now. I've grown more into a woman which is cool and all, but I would like to lose some unnecessary weight. I'm going to have lost 15 pounds by March, and the full 25 by May. Notice I said "I'm going to." Because I am. No "planning on" or "going to try to" here! I plan on drinking only water, no alcohol or Dr. Pepper, and basically just counting calories to where I am eating 1200-1400 a day. I plan on working out some, but I have had people tell me that what you eat is 80% of weight loss, and running/walking all the time hasn't resulted in anything spectacular. My motivation came from Amanda from Kevin & Amanda. She looks so great!!! I hope that I will have something like her weight loss story when I am done. I think it will be cool to have the blog to show my progress.

Thank you so much for your support throughout the years my loyal followers, and I hope that The Road Less Traveled will be a great starting point for the journey of my life, and that you enjoy reading it.
