I would like to start by introducing myself, my site, and what I hope to achieve through blogging.
Let's start with a little bit about me. My name is Caroline. Fun Fact: I am actually named after the great state of North Carolina. My mom always says that she wanted me to have a piece of good ole NC wherever I went. She was born and raised in Eastern NC. I was a military brat growing up, but I have called NC my home for the past two decades. I graduated from Meredith College in 2015...go odds! Meredith is a HUGE piece of my life and holds a large spot in my heart, so I always find it important to mention when introducing myself. I earned a bachelor of arts in English, so you might find various puns and allusions, like the one in the title of this post, throughout my site. I am married to the man of my dreams, and we have two dogs together.
Enough about me, now on to the blog! I am by no means an expert blogger. I wouldn't even say I am an amateur yet. I just enjoy writing and sharing with others. I want this blog to be inspiring, positive, and helpful, so I am going to share my weight loss journey with you. Posts will include my where I started, my transformation, healthy foods and recipes that have worked for me, places of inspiration, and anything else that has helped me achieve my goal of living a more healthy lifestyle.
Bringing this post full circle: what's in a name? The name of my blog site is "what's the secret?" I get this question all the time from people wanting to know how I slimmed down (I will share my transformation in future posts btw). It is usually in jest or just a way to start a real conversation, but I thought it would be a clever name for my site, and I'm hoping my experience does reveal something helpful (kind of like a secret).
Disclaimer: I am NOT an expert when it comes to exercise, dieting, nutrition, mental health etc.
However I do try to educate myself using reliable sources in order to be safe and healthy. Just because something works/worked for me does not mean it will work for everyone. The purpose of this blog is to inspire others with a story about continued hard work, dedication, and self love.
