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! :)

Let's see if this works...

Okay so I'm constantly reading articles to get tips and tricks for enhancing my weight-loss. So, today, I am doing what Women's Health Magazine recommends: eating 5-600 calories for breakfast and then lightening up on calories as the day progresses. BIG change from my oatmeal and coffee. Supposedly, it enhances weightloss and keeps you full for hours so that you can control portion control throughout the day. Also, instead of yoga this morning, I did some latin groove to start the day and get that cardio in first thing in the morning. I'm kind of excited about it. I think, eventually, I'd like to do both. Center myself with yoga, and then kick it up a notch with some cardio. But! For now... I'm glad I made it to step 1!
