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! :)

Thank goodness for lollipops!

I am under attack by the notorious monster known as: THE SWEET TOOTH! *DUN DUN DUN*

I ate like 100 cookies last night (ok, not really, but more than enough!) and then wanted more more more sweets today. I don't know what the heck is going on. Could be left over from the stress of seeing my ex... could be me subconciously sabatoging my progress. Who knows? But right now... right now right now... I'm extremely happy that I carry lollipops in my purse for days like today. Want something sweet, Angela? EAT THIS. Awesome. I think I might be getting nervous about Sunday. Half Marathon #8! EEK. Everything seems to be hurting. Nothing seems to be settled in my head. I'm a bit of a space cadet. GAH. Better known as a mild disaster. Staying strong... I can do this...
