So I bought this book, Lou Schuler's The New Rules of Lifting for Women, to see if I can reshape my body, shed a few pounds, and quit life to become a professional arm wrestler. Okay, the last part is a lie, but I do want to be stronger. I haven't done a pull up since I was five or six years old...and I actually want to. My husband is going to be doing Schuler's first set of new rules (surprisingly titled The New Rules of Lifting) because he wants to change his body too. Hopefully, this will be a fun, challenging experience for both of us.
But enough about the book...this is about MOI!
I live in the middle of a stinky dust bowl with my beautiful husband and our two charming cats, Neko and Mina. I have this weird passion for food (not just in the obsessive fat-chick way, really) so recipes and food photography will probably make their way into my blog somehow. I have a wonderful and supportive family back in the place I call home, and I can't wait until Hubs and I are able to put roots down there. The thought of me having children in this place terrifies both my mumsie and me.
When I grow up, I want to be a svelte, prettier version of Ina Garten (including all the fab friends who constantly bring her artisan cheeses and exotic flowers...what is UP with that!?). Life is currently pushing me in the direction of Certified Personal Chef, and I've found that going with Life's currents takes me to the BEST places....even if I'm smashed into a few rocks on the way.
I'm going to keep up with this blog for my own motivation and entertainment (I crack myself up all the time, like snorting-peeing-in-pants cracked up). I think it's fun to publicly track my progress and share updates with....who? I don't know. You, if you are reading this. I am doing this for me, but I do hope that someday, someone will stumble upon this blog (like I stumbled upon someone else's) and find the inspiration to charge right back at Destiny when it's thundering towards her.
Love,
Kari
