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 ♥

Well, today is Independence Day! And you know what that means? Food, food, food, food, oh and did I mention FOOD? EEK! My stepmom and family are Filipino and know how to put on a FEAST! Awesome for the fatty in me - not so awesome for the fit in me. I did the best I could. Ate small portions of everything over a 6 hour period. Basically had 1 large meal that stretched over the course of the day. Can't say I did much in the way of activities today, but I definitely soaked up the sun and got my Vitamin D in! That, I say, is a good day - any day! :)
