A detailed journal surrounding weightloss, the discovery of a healthier lifestyle, and it's application to real-life at 20-something.
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! :)

Blame it on the a-a-a a a-a alcohol!
So I weigh myself today and my elation at losing 3 pounds last week turned into total disgust when I saw that I had maintained the same weight as the week before. Okay I'm like 2 ounces less. UGH! And it's not even real weight-gain. It's my self-induced punishment for getting a little wild and crazy on a Saturday night. Oh, the things I sacrifice for good times with good friends. So... I'm on the fence about actually documenting this horrendous week. I may. I may not. I can't quite figure out if it will totally screw with my emotions to see 2 ounces in the loss log. Better than a gain, but not what I'd acheived by Saturday morning. Maybe document the 3 pounds I'd recorded prior to Saturday night's shenanigans? I'll figure it out, I guess. I'm going down to the gym tonight. I'm definitely going down to the gym tonight. I missed yoga this morning because I woke up late after spending a restless, sleepless morning of asthma issues starting at 5am. Needless to say, I'm a pretty hot mess right now. Kinda loving it though. Weird, right?
