About Me

            So I am going to go into a little about myself. I went to Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ and majored in Business Administration with a concentration in marketing. After graduation I decided to look for jobs all over New Jersey and New York and I landed a job in New York at a Vision Insurance company. I had these dreams of doing fashion/public relations and my official title is "Regulatory and Compliance Manager". Really REALLY boring. Anyway throughout college I got to the gym about 3-4 times a week and managed to be comfortable in my weight for "college standards" but now that I am in the real world I am not as comfortable in my own skin. This is when I joined weight watchers 3 weeks ago and lost 7.5 pounds. J I also have tried to incorporate more organic, naturally foods in my diet. I am still living at home with Mom and Dad and New Jersey and if all goes well I plan to move to New York with my wonderful boyfriend in Sept/Nov.

                In January of this year a life changing thing changed my life. My mother was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. She had her surgery right away and not is going through extensive chemotherapy three times week. I will go more into detail on this at a later date because I am not sure at this point I could come up with the words to explain how I felt watching her suffer each and every day. Please do keep her in your prayers. Because of this and various other stressful things in my life I have decided to run a 5K in her honor. I have been training for about 2 months and I can run 2 miles J Although to a lot of you.. Meghann, Bobbi, and Caitlin that might not seem like much I am trying to work myself up to where you all are. I would just like to thank Meghann for her words of encourage meant last week when I e-mailed her telling her my struggles with running. Basically I can run three miles but I feel like I am going to die and she told me that it was just as tough for her in the beginning. So that is a little bit more about me. I eventually will be adding some pictures but I am just getting use to this….

How many of you have tried the green monster? What does it taste like?

XoXo,

Megan

The Biggest Loser

Well Since you all don't know me I will tell you The Biggest Loser is probably my favorite show on TV right now. Although I think it is unrealistic I do think it is inspiring and great that these people with a problem can get help and change their life. My father's family including my father is extremely obese and because of that I realize they have a problem that they simply cannot help. They are addicted to food and it is just like any other addiction out there. I know a lot of people out there cannot sympathize with obese people but I can. Anyway, back to the show. I thought it was really amazing last night how they had the last four contestants run a marathon although I do not think they had adequate training time. I do not believe one month is enough time to train for a marathon and wish they would have trained for three or so people who want to train can pick up some tips. I think Tara and Helen did awesome! I can't believe Helen is 48 years old ran a marathon. I cried when Ron crossed the finish line and think it was good of Mike to walk it instead of not doing anything. I am totally pulling for Mike's vote! Ron kind of annoyed me all season trying to get Mike to the finale but Mike does deserve to be there in my opinion.

Time to start my work day… Come back later to learn a little more about me J And find out what I ate today!

 

Have a great Day!

Hi Everyone
Hi Everyone,Welcome to my world.. There is so much to tell you about myself but that will take time..Before I start telling you all about myself I am going to tell you what I want..My name is Megan and I want.
to be healthy
to be happy with my body
to feel good in clothing
to want to go to the beach
to run a half marathon
to eat more organically
to feel comfortable naked
to not have to crash diet when I get married
to show my family I can do this
Yes some of those things are a bit more realistic than other but these are the things I want.. I am sure as this journey goes on things will change but right now that is what I want.
