Hello To You!!

Yay! My first blog post as a soon-to-be former chunky monkey! I have been reading so many weight-loss blogs lately and I AM PUMPED. Thanks for the inspiration, ya'll! So, let's begin, shall we?

First a little background info:

My name is Nick and I am 24 years young. I call St. Louis, MO home and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love this town.

Right now I am in a weird transitional part of my life. It's like I am having a "quarter-life crisis". That whole "finding yourself in your 20's" trip is no joke. After many hours of self-reflection I am ready to take control of the aspects of my life I am unsatisfied with. Better sooner than later, eh? I know that I will never feel completely happy until I am happy with myself. So what better way to dive into happiness than with a new smokin' hot bod??? :)

Don't get me wrong, I do not consider myself "fat". That's a terrible word that should never be used to describe someone... just our bank accounts (well, not mine. My checking account definitely falls under the "malnourished" category...)!! I do have curves and definitely some junk in the trunk which has served me considerably well up until this point. But I do not feel... right. At this point I am not comfortable in my own skin. I am at an age where I should be coming into my own and discovering my own sexuality... or so they say. I do not feel completely sexy physically or mentally. I have some personal things to work out and I plan to do so with the help of my Ipod and a treadmill.

So stay the course with me, new friends! I need your support and stories. Feel free to stalk this blog as I post my trials and tribulations with this whole weight-loss/fitness/empowerment journey.
