About & Contact

jillian and kumaMy name is Jillian and I love reading blogs. That’s my big confession of the day! Since I love to read them, I thought I would contribute instead of merely lurking. Things I am interested in: running, weight loss, pets, cooking, bartending, football, fashion, and vegetarianism. I could go on, and I intend to- but not on this page!

I live in Portland, Oregon. In the past I have made an effort to stay in shape, but I have been distracted and fell apart. Now I have made it a goal to lose 40-50 pounds. I love dogs and football- go Packers!

I am always looking for workout buddies. If you want to help me get back in shape, I like to run (but suffered some injuries and laziness) and probably am at about a 11 minute mile right now. Email me! howtobejillian at gmail dot com

I can also be found on Instagram (howtobejillian), Twitter (jillianbear), Facebook (www.facebook.com/howtobemyself), Bloglovin, and Feedly. Are there any other platforms you would like to see me on? Let me know!
