25 January 2012

new beginnings

I've been sharing my story lately describing 2011 as a year I spent grieving and declaring 2012 a year of rediscovering who I am, and who I am becoming.  In 2012, no longer am I able to lose sight of myself.  When spending a lovely Christmastime at home with my family with time to relax and reflect I thought seriously about what 2012 should mean to me.  For over a year now I've made promises to myself about getting back into shape, cooking more, eating healthier, and making time for me - and I've broken these promises over and over again.
Finally, I put an end to these on New Year's Even when I signed up for my very first race, a half marathon (eek!).  The big day is March 17th.  At Christmas, I could barely finish 3 miles, so I knew if I was going to do this, the excuses were over.  I'm naming this training period, "25before25": losing 25 pounds before my 25th birthday.

Here it goes: getting fit, losing weight and being healthy....
