This journey doesn’t really have a beginning and I finally understand that it doesn’t have an end either. (That’s probably the most powerful lesson I’ve picked up along the way actually. More on that some day 🙂 ).
My entire life I’ve battled my weight and body. As anyone who has fought that fight you know just how exhausting and damaging it can be. Almost a year ago now (late 2013 depending on when you’re reading this) I decided I was done. I was fed-up. I was tired. I was determined. I wanted to set that weight down and get on with my life. Both literally and figuratively. Before long I was addicted. I was addicted to my health and making improvements.
This site is a treat to myself. An indulgence really. I enjoy being active and living a healthy life so much it is my goal to stay immersed in that and luxuriate in it. Some of it is hilarious. Some of it has been painful. Some even enlightening. But all of it I want to remember. And if someone else wants to read about it and maybe relate to me, or get something out of it in return all the better.
