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! :)

Today's Challenge: Beating the post-junk food blues

I'll admit it. This day's entry is feeling like "Pity-party of 1... your table is ready." And while we're on the subject: yes, I would like some cheese with my wine. I am FAT for crying out loud - what kind of fatty doesn't love CHEESE. And, yes, I would like you to dial 9-Waa-Waa... I'll be needing a Waa-ambulance! I am really in a FUNK! And not the kind that Rick James jives with either... We're talking the kind of funk that makes me want to curl up in bed forever and ever and just have food brought to me on the double. This is exactly why I don't eat fast food. It's depressing! And my face is breaking out - let me tell you how sexy that is! OOooH- WEE! So Sexy! I'd like to say that I'm going to get up bright and early tomorrow and get some Yoga in... but truth is I probably won't. I can't get to sleep so I'm tired and grouchy and... ya. I'm going to bed now. I'm annoying myself. On to the next one!
