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 ♥

This whole kickboxing instructor thing is going to be HARD! I've been practicing every day this week. I'm going to run with it playing in my ear so I can visualize queuing it. That's the hardest part btw. Well, other than walking in front of an entire room of people and convincing them that they've come to the right class LOL. Part of me thinks they'll walk out. But, then again, I was warned they do that no matter what. SIGH... Off to practice some more! At least I'm burning some major calories here :)
