Hello! Welcome to my new blog! I am completely new to this so please stick with me as we get started. My name is Heather and I am 35 years old living in Colorado. I decided to start this blog to document my journey to a better life. The first question you may ask is what does a better life actually mean to me. Obviously this will be different for everyone, but I have identified the key focuses for my life that I think will lead to improvement. This key focuses will be the focus of the content on this blog. So what can you expect?
First and probably the biggest piece of my current journey is weight loss. My highest weight was 305lb in 2020 (I know we all gained a bit during the shut downs). Since then I have lost over 20lb and I have a goal of over 100lb. I hope to share recipes that work well on my journey, work out plans and lifestyle changes I am making along the way. If you would like some motivation in your own life please continue to check out my blog.
The second task is improved fitness. As a huge Disney nerd, I have a dream of going to the parks and not struggling to get through a day from all of the walking. I hope to improve my fitness level and will share what I am doing in hopes that it inspires you to pursue your own fitness journey.
My partner and I are also on a quest toward self sufficiency. We adopted 5 chicks last year and I want to share their journey and how we care for them. We are also big gardeners and try to live off our yard every year at least for the summer and fall. Join us to go through the garden and see what we are doing. Keep in mind we live in a suburban neighborhood, so if you looking for ideas for small backyards please check out our posts.
There may also be some content related to wedding planning. We are getting married in October 2024 and would love to share this process with you! Additionally, my partner is dad to 3 wonderful kids. I am learning to be step mom when they already have a mom and how to avoid being that evil step mom from Disney movies. I hope to share our processes and how we go about this so it can help other people in the same situation.
Finally, both of us came into this relationship as “not the cleanest people” and with way too much stuff. Join me as we work toward cleaning out and organizing our house and life.
