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! :)

Well this sucks...

I've been SUPER stressed out the last 2 weeks and, as a result, my weight has been fluctuating crazily. I'm really feeling it. So not only are outside influences stressing me out, this up and down yo-yo my weight is doing has me completely stressing as well. 2 nights last week I spent over-indulging on chocolate. And what did I discover as my favorite fatty mcfat snack? Pecans and Chocolate Icing. Gross right? No - delicious and effing disgusting all at the same time. I'm really, really, really trying to refocus my energies on healthier habits. Today I got one thing taken care of that was bogging me down so I feel pretty accomplished with that. I painted my room over the weekend (and, believe me, it needed it) and that was awesome too. Even though I was tired I forced myself out of bed and to the gym on Saturday. Really, though, working out is not a problem for me. I LOVE to work out. it's my eating habits that are proving to be the biggest challenge. If I could have enough self-control to eat right every single day for... a month? no - scratch that. a week! I'd lose some majore l-bs. I know this, and yet my stress has taken over... UGH! I need a food intervention. STAT.
