The purpose of this blog is to keep track of my journey to a healthier, happier me. But before I can get started, it’s only fair that I show you guys where I am and where I hope to be. This is my first step and as scary as it is, I can’t wait to get started!

Thank you everyone for following so quickly. :) It feels great to have so much support already. I feel really optimistic about this project already.

Let’s see if this great energy can carry on to the next (scary) step: the starting measurements. >_<

First Post!

My name is Ruby, and I’m on a mission to lose weight, get healthy, and change my life for the better. I hope you’ll come along for the ride!

I’m just starting out (literally - right now) and I hope you’ll join me as I start what will hopefully become one of the biggest and best changes in my life. (Sounds pretty auspicious, right?)

I’ll be treating this as a sort of fitness/weight loss diary (initial measurements and goals going up tomorrow!) but questions, comments, and advice will always be welcome if you have something to share. And of course I’ll be following a bunch of fitness/health blogs to keep me inspired, so if you’re reading this and know of some good ones, I’d love to check them out!
