Why I need this blog...

I've decided I need some accountability. Jillian Michaels or Kathleen Daelemans are never going to come to my house, make me work out, make over my foods. The FitTV Housecall folks are never going to magically show up at my door and help me use all the equipment I have in the house...

I keep sinking into food as comfort, into stress eating. Not to mention that gluten-free food has more calories per serving (the frozen stuff, the commercial stuff) and less fiber than conventional food. So, therefore, I'm going to turn over a new leaf now. I'm going to blog my baby steps. Its not going to be a total food and life makeover, because, lets face it, most people can't do that. Its going to be small goals, like eating all the wonderful produce that seduces me at the grocery store and farmers market, that I then forego because its easier to eat chocolate or cheese and crackers (g-f crackers. Unfortunately, I've found ones I like.)

I'm going to at least walk around the neighborhood at least once, if not twice, a day, or do some other form of exercise. I'd like to find a gym for the winter...

So here I am:
