So Our Journey Begins...

Hi! This is Lynda. So the other night, Kara and I were sitting around talking about how unlady-like we are. Or, as my friends in Birmingham used to say, I am the best dressed bum they know. Does it count that your t-shirt is Lucky and your purse is Coach when you are wearing sweatpants and your hair hasn't seen a brush in three days? =)

Anyways, we were talking about how we want to start dressing nicer, doing our makeup and our hair. This progressed into losing weight and eating healthy. And we came up with a plan - we were going to become ladies. With me already 27, and Kara reaching the milestone in two days, it seems like the perfect plan.

I mentioned to Kara that I thought we should have a blog - a place where, in true Julie and Julia style, we can share our struggles and accomplishments on our way to becoming perfect models of today's woman. Turning to Train's Meet Virginia for motivation, Heels While Exercising was born. The goal? One year to completely turn ourselves around.

So a little bit about me - I am a medical researcher who spends more times with cells than I do people. No boyfriends. Just moved to where I live 7 months ago, so very few friends. I find the longer I am in the lab, the more socially awkward I get. I used to be cute and social. Now I'm a bit squiggly around the edges. =P This challenge is more about becoming a better version of myself, a happier or at least more content version than it is about finding a boyfriend. Let the journey begin!
