About Mel

So… welcome to my blog!

My name is Mel, I’m a friendly, arsty, love food and cooking, God and family kind of person. I started this blog to help document my struggles and hopefully victories in life. Particularly in weight loss. This is my journey, and I’m glad you’re sharing it with me!

I live in Texas, so please excuse how many times I may say “y’all” or “ain’t”. It just comes naturally. I’m not known for being particularly regular in posting on here, but I am going to get better! I hope that you enjoy my small stories, and if you don’t, please don’t post anything negative. There is enough negativity in the world. Why not be the change?!

I’m in my early 30’s and have been married for 10 years. I don’t have any children yet, but I’m hoping to change that in a few years. We do have a dog, he is a 5 year old ‘Morkie’. He’s an 8 lb. dog, half Yorkie, half Maltese. He was uniquely named by a 3 year old little boy, and it stuck. His name is “Kesso”. It sounds like the word “queso” for the Spanish word ‘cheese’. He’s all white fur, loves playing tug o’ war, and fetch. We received him from an unhappy situation, and have been working with him to rehabilitate him around children and strangers.

Welcome to my little portion of life. My blogs will cover many topics, particularly weight loss, food, love of food, recipes, cooking, family, new exercises or activities, and much more! I look forward to your comments, thank you for taking this journey with me!
