So the Journey Begins

  It is amazing how weight sneaks up on you. Over the past tens years or so I have gained around 55 pounds. It was kind of easy to ignore. Although, most of my clothes stopped fitting and I began to hate shopping for clothes.  And I refused to step on a scale, because it would bring me so down. Denial is an easy state to be in. Do you not agree?

I am a really healthy eater. Mostly, vegetarian. I eat tons of vegetables, eggs, and lean meats. My only downfall is I like to relax and drink sake nightly. Honestly, I am not sure were the weight came from but it is here.  I guess my metabolism has really slowed down over the years. Currently, I am 60 pounds over my ideal weight.

Day #!


Anyways, it is time to take action. Today I did something with my sister, Tara that I never thought I would I signed up for Weight Watchers. I thought to make it more interesting for me, I would create a blog to document it all, because I am all about Art. I am professional artist, transformative art teacher, and I co-founded to amazing Art organizations (Art 4 All People LLC and Art is Moving 501c3) both whose mission is to make Art part of every one's life.

So this blog will be my 90 day Art project. I will document the integration of Art into my life. Through making amazing arty and healthy food, making art, yoga, my weight loss, walking to Mama Ocean,and much more.

Basically I will document the integration of Art into all aspects of my life. Intending by the end of the 90 days, I will be at least 30 pounds lighter and looking radiant. As well I have developed some amazing Art and publish my first Kitty Bliss book.

Lets see what transpires and let the Art of Life journey begin.
