Where to begin?! The beginning for me was over 11 years ago when I decided I wanted to be healthy the rest of my life. 19 years old, overweight, body and mind a little bit out of control. But sober enough to choose the path of "slow and steady" not just a "healthy quick fix". One baby step at a time I look back and see mountains and valleys crossed to bring me here.
Where am I now?!? I don't know, somewhere between "health nut" and "give me a Snickers bar because I don't have time for this!" I can tell you that I am now in a place to feel like health is a choice and within my grasp to attain. How much I exercise and grow in that knowledge and application of it from day to day varies. Ebbs and flows, such is life.
What would make me happiest to hear from you the reader?!? It is that you are on the path as well. Not that you are looking for a miracle, the one secret that has been eluding you (I can tell you there are innumerable secrets to unfold!), the key to unlocking all that stored fat you've been holding onto so diligently, the fountain of youth, etc... No, rather that you have hope for a better future with "health".
I am a copycat learner. Maybe its my competitive side, "if you can do it I can do it better!" or maybe its my realistic side, "I need to see actual proof that this flight is possible before I attempt to fly off this cliff holding a paper airplane in each hand". For whatever reason I feel more empowered to achieve something that I've seen already accomplished before me. So lets copycat each other. Here's my journey to add to the list of all other health blogs you may be following for info and inspiration (or people to commiserate with over cookie dough eating binges). May it provide you with more inspiration and camaraderie as we both journey on.
To your health!
Toil without song is like a weary journey without an end.
