After having my daughter, Julyssa, in October of 2014, I am determined to try to get into good shape. I have not been in healthy shape in many years (since early high school years), and my ultimate goal is to have lost enough weight and be healthy enough to keep up with Julyssa by the time she is crawling and/or walking. I am joining a DietBet competition as a way to keep myself accountable and put a monetary reward along with my other reasons. When I joined, it suggested that I write a blog post as a way to better keep myself accountable, so I figured it was worth a shot.
