One roll at a time
With this blog I also want it to act as a virtual scrapbook to my roller derby adventure. I joined the S.C.A.R. dolls in St.Cloud Minnesota. There I will join my older sister and skate like a bat out of hell....eventually. Right now I am still a baby doll seeing how I have been to two other practices. I have a ways to go. But wow, what a work out. I am very excited and scared as hell on this endeavour! I want to bring you along too! So here I am, in derby store picking up my helmet and pads :D

My name is Amanda, I'm new here
Hello,
Whether you have stumbled upon my blog or I have relentlessly beat you into submission to check it out...Welcome. This is my first (of hopefully many) fitness related blog. I am by, no stretch of the imagination, a fitness guru. I am 26 years old and incredibly overweight. I'm addicted to food and reading fitness blogs. Irony? I am using this as a tool for motivation and to archive this journey of a lifestyle change. But first I thought I should introduce myself and give a brief history.
My name is Amanda and I live somewhere in Minnesota. I am 26 and have been overweight for as long as I can remember. About 2 1/2 years ago I went through gastric bypass surgery and lost about 120 pounds. Still haven't reached my goal weight but a lot of weight was lifted. I have since gained 40 back which I am terribly upset about. And I am putting my foot down and saying enough is enough! I want to shed these pounds and shed the looming idea that I failed at the surgery. I want to be a success story and not a statistic. Here I plan on sharing ideas, struggles, and breakthroughs. I want to inspire those who have inspired me. So come along for this journey won't you?
Little by Little. Here we go!
