introducion. [say it like youre french, its how i intended it to be.]

i figured id do an introduction [do not say that like youre french, say it like youre american, its how i intended it] because just jumping into a random post about whatever might confuse someone who is used to reading the very first post in blogs for fun. [hi! *wave*] plus, it just seemed appropriate...i, certainly, dont start reading a book in the middle of all the action, so why force you to do so by not including an introduction. however, if theres an introduction or prelude to a book, i typically dont read it...so, i guess you could stop reading here, if youd like...unless you enjoy reading first posts for fun [hello, again! *wave*] in any sense...

salutations! to all, this time. im lynn, in case you didnt read the profile [labeled "about me" in the upper right of the blog.] i like a lot of things dislike a lot of things, and one think i dislike is that facebook has no dislike button [i mean, come on!] i dont have any idea how often ill update this, i have a habit of starting blogs and never continuing them. but ill try on this one. really, i will. i have a purpose to, now!

you see, im starting this blog with many things in mind. one of which is i have about 30 pounds of excess yuck around my stomach [and other parts, too, but my stomach is more prominent] from when i was pregnant. [hi, i have a kid...really, read the "about me," its informative.] my daughters just under a year, but its all still hanging on...it has deep-seeded abandonment issues, and i have deep-seeded i-love-eating-junk-food issues. SO, since this is new years day...woohoo! happy new years! [im really not that jazzed, i dont see the big deal. continuing...] i figured id hop on the band wagon of new year resolutions that will never be fullfilled, and--more specifically--the lose-this-extra-flap-of-skin bandwagon and lose the weight. except i plan on actually losing it. because its not really a new year resolution because today was no different than yesterday except most of the world is, now, sleep deprived. :)

so, thats a reason to start this blog...i need some accountability. even if no one reads it. someone could happen upon it and i dont feel like explaining to a stranger why i committed to something, but didnt deliver. and thatd be an awkward conversation...unless your my mom [hi, mom!] who thinks i need to lose this "fat-ass" as she lovingly calls it. my moms english, so shes nice and wordy...you should hear my grandfather. oh, dear.

other reasons to create a blog are for sanity and ideas that have the potential of actually coming to fruition. but until then, its my keep-me-accountable-as-i-get-fit blog. welcome. :)

for general information in realation to getting fit, i plan on doing jillian michaels 30-day-shred [llli.org forums seem to love it for banishing baby-weight, and amazon has great reviews, too.] the first level is free on demand until january 24th, so ill do that until its no longer on there...then ill hope for level 2 to show up. :D if not, ill have to buy it. boohoo. really, im not sad. itd be nice to have it for my reference and its only 10 bucks or less on amazon...plus swagbucks [enter swidget on the right, its kinda cut-off some but ill figure out a way to fix that later bottom of the page] gives me free $5 amazon gift cards for just using their search engine instead of google. i say SCORE! [theres a link to sign up on the swidget, if you wanna sign up...you can get other stuff with swagbucks, too...not just amazon gift cards.] anyway, that means if i gotta buy it, its free. apart from that, i plan on doing some beginner yoga stuff and some of whatever else happens to be free on demand. [im cheap...i mean, FRUGAL. thats gonna be on LSSU's banished words list next year, i swear.] so, thats it. thats my blog introduction. wordy, long, and intro-y. i know thats not a word, but im a mom, i say poopie and...uhm...okay, so i talk to my kid in a normal voice saying words properly. so shoot me for being grammatically incorrect for a moment, it wont be the last time, im sure.

and ill end with: i tend to write novels for posts. youve been semi-forewarned. :)
