My name is Katy...

...and I'm a couchaholic. I love sitting on my couch in my cozy apartment watching PBS specials and West Wing reruns and munching on popcorn. Buttered popcorn. This lazy habit has become too much to bear, so when I heard about this "11-step program" to a better well-being, I hopped off the couch and ran to the gym. I was also a few days behind in the schedule, being in NYC and Philly for the first few sessions, so I'm playing a fast game of catch up . It's been one week, and my legs are killing me. My arms are killing me, and the thought of those 6 flights of stairs with the 5 lb. weights in my hands makes me break out in a nervous sweat. Still, I'm almost one week into it, and know I have to stay strong. My trip to Kroger last night did NOT include the PopSecret Movie Theater Butter box I normally enjoy- and that is a victory in my corner!

As I mentally prep for the Saturday morning session, I can't help but feel very grateful for all the other "aholics" who are in the trenches with me. Whether it's the couch, the food, or just normal life that has put us where we are, I'm glad we can make this new journey together.
