I’ve been labeled a lot of things, but I also wear a lot of hats. I’m a therapist, a musician, a best friend, a sister, a roommate, an artist, a daughter and lots of other things.

Hi, I'm Amy and I am over-weight.

I’m not lazy though. I've completed 2 mini-marathons and I've trained in Muay Thai for almost 4 years. I'm nearing in a 200 pound weight loss, but I'm still far from where I want to be.  I can’t explain what made it happen; before I knew it I was tipping scales. I’ve tried my hardest to blame others, describe myself in other ways, crash diet and the list grows. I can only point fingers at myself and the only person that can change everything is me.

Rita and I didn’t start this blog to make people feel sorry for us, or even a support group for people with weight issues. We want to inspire you by watching us take control of our lives and health. Also, it’s all about accountability. We have to be honest with you about our struggles; like I can’t say no to ice cream and there’s a Jeni’s Ice Cream opening just down the street from my house. I have to be honest about times I’ve gained and rejoice when I’m losing (weight that is).

Sift Happens 2 is a place to swap ideas and let you know what’s working (and not working) for us. We may even throw in a recipe or two that we think is worthy.

Can’t wait to share this journey with you.  It’s a honor to have you be a part of our stories. Feel free to ask questions, argue with us, whatever, we're up for it.

--Amy
