Hi! My name is Katie. I’m a 28 year old wife and stay-at-home mom of our amazing, energetic 1 year old daughter.
I was born and raised in Central Ohio. In 2005, I graduated from Ohio University (Bobcats, not Buckeyes) with a degree in Telecommunications: Media Studies, a minor in Spanish and a Political Communications certificate. Got all that? Great! It makes me sound a whole lot smarter than I really am.
I married my wonderful husband in March 2008 and relocated to his hometown, our current residence in rural Southern Ohio. Our daughter was born in October 2009. Two months later, I left my job to become a full-time mom. While my daughter is my #1 job priority, I also work a few hours a week as a Weight Watchers receptionist and leader.
I started Up Fit Creek in January 2009. After losing over 70 pounds, this blog was the answer to the question, “Now what?” It began as a way to keep myself accountable in my eating and exercise. Thanks to the amazing blogging community, this blog has become so much more. Here you’ll find a hodge podge of my food, fitness, and random ramblings about my daily life.
Have a question or just want to chat? Feel free to e-mail me anytime! You can also find me on Twitter @UpFitCreek.


Haha! You’re funny though!
Katie! I so so so very much love your blog title! I almost snorted my water through my nose when I read it in my comments. Thanks so much for visiting me! And I’m glad I’ve found you.
p.s. You need an about me page! We wanna know all about you – don’t worry about making it perfect
xoxo
hehe, thats what I write too. But glad to have found your blog!
i’m thinking it’s about time to write something here!
I know! I know! I’m actually working on this right now. I’ve made getting it done my goal for the coming week. It may be terribly boring, but at least it will be there!
You look great! Loved your story.
I love that you are a SAHM, but still make time to be involved with something you are passionate about (at weight watchers). That’s so great that you’ve found such a wonderful balance like that!
We got married the same year! My husband and I got married a couple of months after you guys in August ’08!
