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 ♥

I've decided that I'm over this being in a funk business. Also, my room is a mess. Which, to the average person, may not seem like a totally big deal. But it is for me. When my room is a mess, my head is a mess. There's this saying, "Messy bed, messy head." And it SO applies to me. When the things around me are clean and organized, I'm more focused and energized. So, Operation Organization is in full effect. Sort of. I'm pretty much going to bed at this point, but will be getting to it tomorrow. Hopefully this is the last night that I have to spend in this chaotic mess. I do feel much better about the way I've eaten over the last 2 days. It makes me feel great to get back on track. And, of course, there's still a couple of items I could do without: namely, the ice cream, but all in all I give myself 2 thumbs up, a pat on the back, and a smile! :)
