Hi, I'm Petra and this is my weight loss/fitness blog.
I used to be on Weight Watchers from January 2011 to October 2012, dropping approximately 45 lbs. I've made the transition from unhealthy and unhappy to athlete and this is my journey to becoming a healthier, happier me. I frequently post about my exercise (mostly running, yoga and lifting), the foods I eat, recipes I liked and my daily struggles. You'll also find the occasional tree hugger post, (travel) photography or anything else I find worth remembering and collecting.
I follow most blogs back that follow me. However, I do stay away from blogs that promote EDs, unhealthy methods of weight loss or negative body image.
Feel free to say hi any time!

I love Aschaffenburg. It’s such a cute, little town.
My best friend works there as a radiologist and I’ve always really liked visiting her. The city is just the right size with a cute shopping street, a beautiful castle and some really nice churches.

I have family in Singen and strangely never made it to the Festung Hohentwiel. Sadness.
