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! :)

It's been a while...

I can't believe I haven't blogged in 19 days! How strange a feeling!

Welll, let me bring you up to speed as quickly as I can. I moved about a week and a half ago. I stopped counting calories and tracking my foods about a week ago and picked it back up today. I went to Texas and finished half marathon #9 with a better time than I did in LA.

Moving was me +1. Not kidding. No movers, no vans, just me and my self-proclaimed super-hero strength going at it with a single friend (male). Needless to say, I wasn't going to the gym while the move was going on. I injured my ankle, my back, and my wrist during said move and have been slowly but surely getting better. I did, however, go back to the gym today and feel awesome about it. Picking it back up full time this week and not looking back.

Thanksgiving was last week... I actually did NOT eat myself into misery this year and am still patting myself on the back about it. I ate one plate, and took another home to eat another day. GO ME! I semi-hid my scale from me so I'm not too sure where I stand weight-wise. But my clothes fit fine and my face is not puffy so I'm going to guess it's not going to be a horrible experience when I do hop on to get a number going.

Today is my grandma's birthday! I'm cooking dinner - good thing, too, because I can count what I make!

I guess that's it for now! We'll stay in better touch from now on, blog. :)
