In the beginning

In the beginning, there were two women and they were great. However, they had some things they wanted to changed about themselves, both inside and out. Ergo, we created "The Resolutionary Diaries" to chronicle our battle with weight, staying sane, dealing with spouses (mine) going on sabbatical far away for a long(ish) time, getting married, and having children among other issues. By the way, we know "resolutionary" is not an actual word. It's our attempt at wordplay, you know, revolutionary?

My name is Veronica (not really but you do not need to know who I actually am). I married a science geek, Niels (also not his real name), seven and a half years ago and we had a little boy almost a year ago. The little boy, we will call him Warren, is truly an awesome person. And no, I am not biased. Ask my fellow blogger, Josephine (not her real name, see the pattern!), she will tell you. Both of us are of the legal profession persuasion and Josephine actually likes it. Almost five years after being in practice, which truly it is, I still don't know if this is what I want to do forever and ever. My profession will be of much discussion in other posts. So bottom line, if you want to join us in our journey to better ourselves, and better yourself in the process, then read along. We welcome comments but please be nice. I can be sarcastic so don't take everything I write literally.

Tuesdays will be Our Day of Disclosure where we share our weight, measurements, etc. If you want to put in your weight in the comments every Tuesday, feel free too. We don't judge because, well, it would be wrong. And please don't worry, this blog won't only be about weight loss. I have my child to talk about, remember? WELCOME TO THE MOMMY BLOG!! Okay, again, it won't be just that either because Josephine doesn't have children yet. I've babbled enough. It's Monday morning, it snowed way too much, and Niels and I are trying the Ferber Method on Warren. Hopefully future posts will be more coherent but I wouldn't count on it if I were you!
