Welcome Message.

Benvenuto! (Welcome!)

This month marks just over 1-year since my journey with weightloss, health, and fitness has started. I've decided to begin documenting the changes that I continue to experience as I lose weight, become more active, and try new things. During the past year I've gained a love and obsession for running, turbo kickoboxing, and yoga. I've run 1 5K, 1 12K, 9 Half Marathons, and 1 21-Miler in 4 states since October 2009... and I'm nowhere near finished!

Changing your life, though, can really sometimes be a very lonely experience. And this is where this journaling thing comes in: a public connection to what would otherwise be a private experience.

My plan is this: be honest. I'm going to be documenting the food I eat, the exercises I do, and all the other things that happen during this journey to help me succeed... and talk about how I overcome the failures that will inevitably occur as part of it.

I'm not giving myself an exact timeframe, just the ultimate goal of being where I want to be in the end.

So here I go... across the start line of the longest marathon of my life. Scared, but excited as hell! :)

Thoughts of the Day ♥

My best friend's nephew turned a month old today. He's the absolute cutest baby!! I'm not just saying that because I'm head over heels in love with him... or because he loves me too... he really is sooo cute!! Just look at that wittle face!!! :) Okay, I know, I'm gushing. But, really. having that adorable little man fall asleep in my arms today was just too perfect. I want to have that - the family, the house, all that stuff. But first, I have to be happy with me. And I'm totally not there yet. I have a weekend chocked full of activities to look forward to! Tomorrow is my friend's neice's 15th birthday party. She's doing a slumber party at a hotel and I'm going to help chaperone. Part of which will include some swimming!! And then Saturday, Rihanna concert - VIP!! Dancing the night away on a sister, sister double-date! So exciting! I'm all kinds of positive right now and I love it. I'm always glad to give myself a break from the strenuous training it requires to actually LOSE weight, but am happier to be back on track. It feels amazing.
