Greeting from Brazil :)
So, my name is Marcela and I'm from Brazil.
I weight 73kg (160 pounds), which wouldn't be that much, if I wasn't so terribly short. *g* I've been trying to lose weight on and off for about 4 years now. I never lost any significant amount of weight because I get bored of dieting very easily and I used to be a horrible cook. My parents couldn't eat healthy if someone paid them a million dollars and since they're both chefs (!) I always ended up choosing their yummy full of calories meal than my pathetic salad.
But at the beginning of the year I made a promise to myself: I'd learn to cook a decent meal. And with the help of food blogs I think I'm no longer an atrocity in the kitchen. I've also been soda-free for about 6 months now and am slowly eating more fruit and veggies. I'm still on a quest to eat more veggies, but hey, at this time last year I had no idea I could enjoy chickpeas, squash, kale...
But throughout the whole year I haven't exercised even once. And that's just ridiculous. I'm tired of running to catch a bus and having to take 5 minutes to catch my breath or getting all sore just for cleaning the house. So I've decided to do something about it. Gyms don't do it for me, so I've decided to use this really nice park I have right next to my house. And the gods decided to grace me and show me a really cheap-*** bike while I was on Wal-Mart *g* I bought it and it has been raining cats and dogs ever since because, hey, that's how the universe works. But I'm planning on biking for 45min 5 days a week...
...And I wrote a treaty. That's me, always tl;dr. I have no idea how I found this website, but it's great. I'm hoping that between this and Fitday I'll be able to reach my goal.
