My name is Paula.  I am originally from Reno, Nevada and moved to Portland four years ago.  My husband and I are roomates with three crazy felines who we love like crazy!  I started this blog after following some great food/health blogs.  I am continually struggling to lose weight, get active, get healthy or whatever you wanna call it.  I enjoy a good laugh, so who knows what I am doing here.  Only time will tell!

I am hoping that as I post these photos, later they will become the “before” photos.

My goal is to get healthier and to lose weight. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember.  I have been thick and thin and back again.  I know what it takes, I’m just working on the doing it part.  I am hoping through the support of this blog I will stay on track.

*Update:  (11/05/10) I have excluded all meat, dairy and eggs from my diet.  My reasons for this are many.  Over time I hope to talk about it and  influence anyone how may be considering it. I have been eating this way for only two months now and have never felt better! With exercise, I have been able to lose weight more successfully than ever before.
