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: Waterpark Madness

I guess this challenge would more appropriately be named: Forgiving myself for waterpark madness. I really let myself eat away today. I feel pretty crappy about it. I feel stressed out, but I don't know what about. The only thing that made it feel better was eating - so not good. I'm anticipating that I'll be really struggling this week with food choices that I made today. Like a true fatty, I've not shown you the evidence of my hogging out. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It's bad enough I'm looking at all the food on my list as it is. I couldn't handle the visual reminders of it on top of it all! I'll get better at that, I'm sure, but today's not the day. I had a lot of fun today. And I really enjoyed everything I ate. I regret the calories and the work it's going to take to get back on track, but I'm glad that I just had fun today. I needed to let loose. UHHHHHHHG I just wish it wasn't at the expense of all my hard work this week! Okay, now I'm rambling. Bottom line: challenge FAILED. (again!)
