When I started this blog, my intention was to contemplate life and find balance. I have quickly discovered that this process is not always blog-worthy. SO I'm now just using it as a place to empty my head.
Four days ago I joined MyFitnessPal.com because I'm tired of feeling fat.
I did fairly well at the begining of the year to uphold my promise to myself to fall in love with Fitness again. I was doing yoga about three times a week, I had cut out fast food from my diet, and I started cooking lighter meals. Just as Fitness and I were starting to feel that spark in our relationship again, Laziness dropped by unannounced. And it brought its friends Food Cravings and Mental Block. In a matter of what felt like minutes, I had retreated back to my previously bad relationship with Laziness.
Then, one weekend, I was walking Race for the Cure, and I bumped in to Fitness. It commented on my cute pink running shoes and pointed out the 55+ aged cancer survivor that jogged past me. The lightbulb came on...again. I'm 24! I should be out having fun with Fitness, not couped up inside with Laziness! I hemmed and hawed over how I was going to try and get back together with Fitness, and decided that I needed visuals. I needed to see how much I ate on a piece of paper, I needed to see how often and how long I exercised on a chart, and I needed to see what others were up to.
My goal is to run the untimed 5K Race for the Cure next year. Sorry laziness, it’s over between you and me.

I think this is fantastic. You and I both know that seeing things like this written down gives us a better perspective. I know you can do it. You are fabulous. I think I will also try this out. I've done it before with good results, so why the ef haven't I done it again?

Hurray for fitness! I completely understand getting mentally blocked. I am training for a half marathon with Barbie and am already feeling overwhelmed. I <3 you and know you are going to do fantastic. I look at old pictures of you and the ones now and can see how much you have changed your lifestyle. You can totally do it!
