Introduction

Welcome!

Due to numerous comments on my Facebook statuses, I have decided to start a blog about my fitness woes and triumphs. I have actually been wanting to do something like this for quite some time, but never really got around to it (and never really thought anyone would be interested in it). I hope that through my experiences, others may find comfort, inspiration, or maybe even a good laugh... even if it is at my expense.

My only regret for both this site and my endeavor is that I wish I would have started it sooner. One of the many things that I have learned, is that it's a journey. It's not going to happen overnight. There is no "quick fix." I didn't get to 250lbs. by consuming one giant hamburger (thank God), and so I'm not going to get to 125lbs. by taking a stroll around the block. It takes work, dedication, the ability to say "NO", a sense of humor, and a support system. I have been blessed with an amazing support system. I want to take a second to thank them: 1)My sister-in-law Jill for calling me and asking me to do it (and all the support you've given over these last months) 2) My Trainer Aaron (www.inner-fit.com) for believing in me and pushing me to get to where I am today... "If you're not cryin', you're not tryin'." :) 3) My mom and dad for their support and love through "thick and thin" (and help with supplying the ever changing wardrobe) :) 4) Friends- You guys are great and I thank you for all your complements and wish you the best of luck on your journey as well.

I will say that this site is not meant to be a "do-what-I-do" site. Each of us is different. I may run 6 miles, but that doesn't mean that you should "go ye therefore and do likewise." If you're looking to get in shape, start with a walk, find some stairs and go up and down them (several hundred times), take a bike ride... the main thing is, find what works for you... because guess what, if it doesn't work for you, YOU WON'T DO IT!

With that said, I hope you enjoy!
