New Beginnings

I'm starting this blog for me.  I have spent a lot of time avoiding things like blogs, twitter, etc.  In fact, this is how I generally feel about blogs: http://www.hulu.com/watch/319318/saturday-night-live-you-can-do-anything#s-p2-sr-i1

This website is about me getting my life back.  About getting my health back.  About getting my happiness back.  I have battled with my weight/body image my whole life.  I know your body should not define your happiness - but let's face it - it does.  I fought really hard after college to lose the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior 10's and 15's.  Joining Weight Watchers after graduation allowed me to shed almost 30 pounds.  Unfortunately, I allowed the stress of grad school to make me lazy.  To make excuses.  To order lord-knows how much dominos pizza.  To tell myself that the few pounds I gained every semester was out of my control.  Basically, I was full of crap.

This blog is about being radically honest with myself.  I honestly don't expect that anyone will read this.  And that's ok.  It's for me.  Here, I will log each meal, workout, and fitness goal - and what I actually do to meet them (and even when I don't).  Maybe I'll get brave and post photos of my progress.  Maybe.

In the end,  this is about being honest.  So in that spirit, I'll begin tomorrow - Day 1 of my new journey - with a weigh in. And report.  For tonight, here is my workout schedule for this week:

Wednesday 1/18/12: 60 minutes zumba
Thursday 1/19/12: 60 minutes vinyasa yoga
Friday 1/20/12: 60 minutes Cardio Kickboxing
Saturday 1/21/12: Deep water fitness & vinyasa yoga
