Northwoods Mamma

I am a Mamma living in far norther Minnesota. I have over 50 pounds to lose. I have struggled to find long term motivation for the hard physical and emotional work of long term weight loss. A friend suggested losing weight as a fund raiser for a cause. Social justice issues DO motivate me.

My nephew just graduated from college. The next stop for his formal education is law school. In-between, he will be spending a year working for International Justice Mission in India to help end sex trafficking (www.ijm.org). I am taking pledges per pound lost between now and November 18, 2013 (my 39th birthday). This money is tax deductible and will go to covering his living expenses while he does this important work.

Follow my blog for an honest account of my weight loss journey and struggles and to learn more about International Justice Mission. Heathy recipes, my internal journey through photography, other creative healing projects, motivational photos/quotes I have found, and other tidbits will be shared along the way.
