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! :)

New week.. new focus

Forgiving myself last week seemed to really have made a positive impact. I'm totally not completely where I'd like to be as far as self-control and caloric intake goes, but I'm definitely making progress. I'm going to attempt to do something active each day this week in addition to starting and ending each day with yoga and then doing 1 full TKB set each morning as well. The goal is going to be to do the morning yoga routine, then step outside and do the tkb routine. (outside after i've learned it a little better lol) we'll see how it goes. tomorrow evening i'll be taking a 12-mile hike with a good friend of mine and then wednesday i've planned for some indoor rock climbing. The rest of the week is open, but I'm going to try and do zumba on thursday night and bikram on saturday. good plan right? i'm sleepy just thinking about it.. so i'm going to bed :) night night
