Thanks for stopping by!

Let’s get real here. My collection of weight loss before pictures are essentially a timeline of me getting fatter each year! My goal? To have an actual successful after picture! I am looking at this weight loss journey as a marathon and not a sprint. I plan on making better choices and staying active (hard pass on any magic diet pills or weight loss pyramid scheme products). As a firm believer that life is better when you are smiling, this will definitely be a comical journey.

My hope for this blog is to encourage others (whether it be with weight loss or another obstacle being faced) via laughter, sarcasm, and a whole lot of Jesus! I hope this site puts a smile on your face and leaves you feeling inspired. Feel free to drop me a line and let me know how you are doing!

You have got this! You are awesome! Internet high five!

Kim (aka me)

How did you get the name Kim is Awesome?

I am glad you asked! Kim is Awesome is a long running joke between my husband and I from when we were first married. I jokingly put my name as KimIsAwesome during a highly competitive game of Wii Sports tennis.  Before every competition, the screen would say, “KimIsAwesome vs. John.”  I found this to be so amusing, I continued to put my name as KimIsAwesome for all future games where I was against my husband (e.g., Trivia night at Buffalo Wild Wings where the whole restaurant could see “John vs. KimIsAwesome” on a television screen). Fast forward to when Bluetooth first came out. My husband and I were trying to figure out whose phone was connected to a Bluetooth device as both of our phones showed up as a series of numbers. My solution? I named my phone KimIsAwesome. Problem solved.  The best part of calling my phone KimIsAwesome? My dashboard now has KimIsAwesome across it when I connect my phone. When I told my friends I was thinking about taking the plunge and blogging, most of them rooted for KimIsAwesome to be the name.
