Allie & The Obligatory "Get To Know Me" First Post...

Hey there, I'm Allie, a former over weight couch potato.  On July 2, 2008 I had the lab band procedure to assist in my weight loss journey, and oh, what a journey it has been!  I began at 254 lbs, and as of August 8, 2012 have lost approximately 100 lbs.  February 2012 I had my tummy tuck, and breast reduction.  While I still have more to lose, I am pleased to say that I am finally comfortable in my body, thanks to my amazing doctors, the constant love and support from my family, and my willpower to be healthy.  I downloaded the Run5K app on my iPhone, and every M/W/F I take an hour to myself (well, not just to myself…my bff TV, her hubby JV, and my boyfriend TH are with me, but I’m alone with my thoughts…that counts right?) in the evenings, put those headphones on, and jog until the robotic voice tells me to stop.  I never, in my entire life, thought I would fall in love with jogging (and to all you doubters, I'm living proof), but I have! I miss it on the days that I'm not doing it, and I pray for time to go by faster on the days I do go out to the track.

 
I plan on updating this blog regularly, or when I can remember to, at least.  Or maybe when I have time…whichever happens more often haha.  Here’s a little background on me: I was born, raised, and continue to grow up in Charleston, WV.  I work full time for a prominent health insurance company, and beginning fall 2012 I’m returning to school to complete my English Education degree.  So let’s see, I’m a hillbilly who works full time, and is a full time student.  Yep…that about sums me up. I am also an independent Scentsy Consultant on the side.  I am the proud mommy of Ninja KiKi Isabella (a long haired black Siamese/Tabby mix), and Molly Moo (a long haired, chocolate and tan dachshund).  I’m sure you’ll get a better idea of who I am and what I’m about the more I post.  I’m not a very serious person, and tend to goof off more than anything.  With that being said, here’s the self-promotional crap:
You can follow my shorter ramblings on Twitter: @AllieNicoleM or my monthly Scentsy specials: @AliSmellyGoods
I’m not on MySpace, because let’s face it…MySpace was so 2001, and I’m way too cool for that.  I am still on FaceBook – Allie Montgomery.  I’ll add you if I know you personally, otherwise, just don’t bother.
