Facing the Scale

A daily honest assessment of how I’m treating my body

About Me

I’m Laura. I’ve been writing about food, cooking, gardening and small scale farming at the (not so) Urban Hennery for a while.

For the past few years I’ve been paying a lot of attention about what I put into our bodies, mine and husband Mike’s, but not enough attention to how I’m treating my body otherwise. This blog exists to chronical my attempts to recommit to me during 2009.

My weight and my general lack of fitness snuck up on me over the past couple of years. We’ve been busy with a lot of other things and it seems that when something had to give we almost always chose the physical activities we love, assuming that we’d find time to do them later. Well, later is here and the time to start doing them again is now. Telling myself I should do them hasn’t gotten me off my ass, so hopefully the reality check of facing the scale every morning will.

I’ll be posting daily about what the scale says, how I feel about it and what I’m doing about it. Please feel free to join in the conversation via comments. You can also always reach me at urbanhennery at gmail dot com.

Thanks for stopping by!
