Well, hello! Welcome to my super crunchy blog. Coming up with a title was quite a process. I did lots of brainstorming on notepads, trying my best to come up with something catchy, original, and indicative of what I want to convey. So, crunch: a word that make me think of yummy goodies, like chocolate-covered pretzels, or tortilla chips with guacamole, but also a word that conjures up images of a really challenging series of sit-ups...and then there's crunch time, as in it's now or never. Add a "y" to the word and you get crunchy which catapults me back to the past, when the scent of patchouli, the sounds of the Grateful Dead, and swirly skirts and Birkenstocks helped to shape my consciousness.

So what exactly do I want to communicate to you? As any writer will tell you, very often the ideas that are outlined and planned upon transform throughout the writing process. Therefore, I can't promise that what I have layed out here today will actually be the end product. I have in the back of my mind that I'd like to chronicle a weight-loss story, (hopefully a successful one, fingers crossed!) but also just share observations of all the funny humanity around us. Let's see where this goes.
