Welcome to Beginner Fitness Junkie!

Hi. My name’s Angela, and I’m a Beginner Fitness Junkie. But I’m guessing that doesn’t mean what you think it means.

By “Beginner Fitness Junkie,” I mean that I’m a beginner to fitness. Like, serious beginner. I’ve been a staunch couch potato for years. And by “junkie,” I mean that I love junk food and have no intention of giving it up. In my opinion, cutting the fat, sugar or carbs out of the food in your life is akin to a particularly hellish…um, hell.

See? I told you it wouldn’t be what you thought.

So I created this blog to document my journey down the road to fitness, and to track any progress I make. I’m really curious to see if I can lose weight without giving up the food I love so much. Along the way, I’ll be sure to share any advice or nuggets of information I’ve gleaned along the way.

And I’ll share (unhealthy, fatty, and delicious) recipes along the way, too. After all, what’s the point of sweating over a treadmill if you can’t eat what you want once you get home?

So, welcome! Feel free to leave a comment introducing yourself. Then sit back, grab a set of dumbells and a bag of potato chips, and bear with me as we jump into the big scary world of treadmills and ellipticals.
