Rae

There is a million places I could start, but I think I will start with why I chose the nickname Rae (pronounced Ray). The R should be obvious as it begins my name. The A is the second letter in my first name and it is also the beginning of my middle name. Last, but not least is the E. The E is rather important to me. People are always wondering how to spell my name. I always have to remind them that there is only an E, not an AE in Rachel. The E is also important as it ends my middle name. It reminds me of my mom and a movie she liked, where the main character always reminded people of the important E at the end of her name (her first, my middle). So there it is.

I started this blog a while ago so that I could help keep myself accountable. I have been doing a bad job at it. I am so not a blogger. I do not plan to do any challenges. I just simply want a place to be honest about how I am doing, a place to remind me to continue on in the fight, and a place where I can write more than a 2 sentences update.

So how am I doing with eating healthier??? Honestly, I haven't even tried. Some how I managed to lose two sizes in pants, but that most likely was do to stress and the business of the season. I didn't even eat healthy by eating vegetables, or even 3 meals. I ate random, junky meals. However now that I have more time to focus on what I am putting in my mouth, I plan on at least trying.

Oh, and by the way I do not resolve to do anything in the new year. Before you start to worry that I am giving up, let me clarify. I am tired of trying to be one of those people who make resolutions and gives up sometimes rather quickly. Instead I am going to keep trying harder to live the life that God wants me to live.

There is more I can write, but need to stop here. I am in the middle of trying to make dinner and need to get back to it. Thanks for taking the time to read. Leave your thoughts.
