How to be Fit & Fab!

25 08 2008

Today is THE day. The day I start looking after myself again, eating healthier and getting exercise. I figure if I say it out loud, and put it out there in the blogosphere, it will make me more determined to stick to my new regime.

I’m not overweight, not by any means. I was always the girl everyone hated, the girl who couldn’t gain weight if she tried. But that changed a few years ago, it must be part of the aging process… POOH! About 4 years ago I put on weight for the first time in my life, and it freaked me out, so I stopped having KFC for lunch everyday, joined the gym and became a lot more concerned with what I put into my body. I lost the few kilos I’d gained and kept it off for about 2 years. I even dropped a couple more kilos to become the thinnest I’d ever been. I wasn’t unhealthily skinny, I was just enjoying working out so much that I spent an hour and a half in the gym five days a week. Being pear-shaped I was pretty damn happy to fit into size 9 jeans (I wouldn’t even dream of fitting into size 8!).

Well, hello.

I thought for my first blog post I’d introduce myself and my hopes for this blog.

I’m Joolliee, or Joolz. I live in Sydney’s Inner West and work in Digital PR in the CBD. I love where I live and I love my job. My greatest joy in life comes from spending time with my best friend Becca, niece RhiannanĀ and nephew Liam(I’m sure they’ll all rate the occasional mention). I also enjoy live music, movies, reading and football (soccer… Go Sydney FC!!).

One of my greatest passions in life (or is it a downfall?) is fashion. I love shopping and I love shoes. It’s unfortunate that I live in a small apartment with a small wardrobe, but don’t worry I find a way to make it work ;o)

Bearing all of that in mind, I think this blog will mostly centre around fashion, shopping and shoes… with the occasional book, movie or gig review, and of course associated comments on the fashions involved.

I hope you’ll join me on my journey in blogging, I think I’ll enjoy it, and I hope you will too.
