The Fitness Journal

Good day all! My name is Shannon Buck. I hail from a small town in Maine, where I am blessed to have the opportunity to work from home as a freelance writer. I am mom to Skye and Zowie, my wonderfully supportive daughters.

I am not happy with my appearance. I want to get back into at least a large.

---

When I first started losing weight, I weighed in at 279 pounds and wore a size 3x. I am now at a size 2x and, while I have accomplished much, I have gone backwards somewhat. Not too badly, as I am still wearing a size 2x, along with with some 1x.

This blog is an effort to help keep me on track with my fitness goals. My main goal is not necessarily weight-loss, but overall fitness, nutrition and health. I want to not only look better, but feel better as well.

Join me while I continue with my journey.

Warmest Wishes and Brightest Blessings,
