Hi, you don't know me, but I could be you, I could be a bunch of other blogs you have read. I am just another person marking a place in my journey, so that the place is marked, and therefore doesn't just disappear...
I, like many others, want a life that is greater than life is now. I want to fully be the person that I am, I want to grab life with gusto and fill my hands full. You know, maybe I'm not now, maybe I'm not.
That is about to change...because today I ran up and down my front stairs 6 times.
I HAVE started a journey to my half marathon.
I am not fit, I am fat. I am pretty lazy. I am fond of food. I am fond of easy, thoughtless food.
I refuse to diet, so I must find another way to take back the bits of my life I have relinquished to uncaring, thoughtless, stressed and uninspired choices.
This is a blog of my journey from here to somewhere better.
Yes, I will lose weight, so for those of you wanting to follow a weight loss blog; Hi.
Yes, I will get fit, so to the walkers, the runners, and the swimmers who love action blogs; Hi to you also.
Ultimately, though this blog is not about weight loss or fitness.
This blog is about who I want to become through the process.
I have seen many people lose weight and gain it all back on as the true change never comes.
I do not want this. When I lose this weight that has been my companion for 10 years, I will lose it forever. How that is going to play out is really what this blog is; a story of transformation - mind, spirit, and soul, so the changes made become permanent and real.
My knees will thank me, as will my heart, and my children.
