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! :)

And now I know why you SHOULDN'T peak at the scale in the middle of the week...

Yes, it's true. I totally cheated. And... I know better! But I did. I've been working out +3x's a day for over 2 weeks now and when I weighed myself last night (another bad idea - who weighs themselves at night?) it showed a significant increase in lbs. Umm.. FML much?

I've had trouble focusing today as a result. Nevermind the fact that I've literally had 7 hours of sleep in the last 2 days... and am not going to be getting any tonight. It's good friend birthday week in the life of me and I've had to go to every event. That means clubbing until 3 to 4 am and getting up for work at 9. My GOD am I insane or what? I am truly a mess right now. UGH. The weekend begins today with another party. One that I have GOT to be on top of my game for. I'm making cookies and cupcakes for the occasion. And have to successfully not eat ANY of it. Right.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can keep up.
