Well, what are YOU waiting for?!

"If you really want something you will find a way, if not you will find an excuse." ~ Stephen Dolley, Jr.

"Fitness is not about six-pack abs. It's a tool to help you reinvent yourself. It's about exercising your greatness, feeling the full potential of your power and reaching it with no shame. Those abs? They're a little bonus." ~ Jillian Michaels

"Don't piss on my parade because I will cut your weiner off. Trust." ~ Me! Hehehehe...

Yes, those are ...

Yes, those are the three quotes which are kinda defining this year for me.

I'm finally succeeding on the one thing that I've been struggling with since high school: weight loss. It has taken me over eight months now but I'm finally down about 20 pounds and I'm just pounds away from being in a healthy BMI and a few more pounds after that I'll be at my goal weight! I still almost can't believe it!

I have set some pretty high goals for myself this year to help keep myself on trackin - running a half marathon in October is just one of them. And my one resolution? To be fearless and start loving life again. I want to get out and do things that I've always been too scared to do, or things that I told myself I would do if I ever lost the weight. It's time to start living my life exactly how I want to.

My Goals:
Current: Bigger, Better, Badass Goal - Half Marathon on October 17th!

145 means I'm in the healthy BMI range, and at a weight that I haven't been since high school... over 10 years ago. (Time flies!)

My Program:
Right now, I'm working on upping my mileage. I can currently run about 3-4 miles and I'd like to get up to doing around 10 average by the end of the year. Which I think is completely do-able. Don't tell me if it's not.
