Awakening...

When you realize things in your life it can be unexpected, unnerving, disapointing, liberating, peaceful, and even joyous. I start this blog for all of those reasons.

I sat in church one afternoon listening to a lesson and the object part of the lesson was about a marathon runner, how she started, and what she did. As I listened, I grew more and more intent on the runner and her marathons...not the actual lesson. I became intrigued and wanted to know more about the expierences behind running. I have friends who love to run and have done half-marathons. I have always told them..." I don't run. I hate it." But I realized that I never "ran".

The next part of my "awakening" is when I stepped on the scale...yes I did..I know it was a mistake...but I did it! And then my DH stepped on it to weigh in. When I say that realizing things are diappointing....unnerving....I wasn't kidding. It seems that I weigh 3 pounds MORE than he. Now I never thought that I would EVER weigh more than my DH...but it seems that I do. So the plan of action...

 So I decided to combine the two awakening moments in my recent life...running and weight loss. I wanted to keep a record of wha tI am doing and the results. I am not sure why I am willing to keep this public...but I am...maybe the accountability is what I need. So today I start my journey...I hope I make it!

I know I started this blog months ago..but better late than never I say! I procrastinate things...lol But now that I have started...I am on my way...
