Some of the most profound words of wisdom in life are hidden, nestled in the smallest of conversations, seemingly invisible. A conversation with a friend comes to mind as I embark on a new fitness journey to a healthier me...
I was feeling pretty under the weather one day but like the dedicated work-a-holic I am, I was at work plugging away sluggishly. A friend, grabbing my dry erase marker, wrote the number 1 on my white board. The 1 stood for my health. For each additional good thing in my life he added a 0 after the 1 until my "life number" grew to 100,000,000,000,000. Slashing an X through the number 1 he said, "if we take away your health then no matter how many wonderful things you have in life all you are left with is a bunch of 0's".
It is a simple yet powerful story. I have struggled with my weight almost my whole life but I am ready to make the leap towards positive change. I am ready and committed to being the healthier, happier, fit M E under all these extra pounds!
Tomorrow, joined by a few friends, I am starting a brand new fitness regimen with Tony Horton's Power 90 program. Wearing my new GoWear Fit armband and watch I am ready to shed some pounds and get this body in shape! I thought that blogging my way through this exciting journey would keep me motivated to keep on keeping on! Want to join us with your own fitness goals? Shoot me a message! Take the challenge and you will be on your way to a brand new you in no time. I will be posting my workouts, tracking my food, my measurements, weigh-in's, in my blog as well.
So, tomorrow, I start with the number "1". Care to join me?

You should join spark people...I love it and it helps another place you could post your blog...
Hey Kisha! I used to be on Sparkpeople and found that I liked the DailyPlate better. It had a better food database. It has a built-in blog feature too but I wanted to use blogspot instead so that I could blog about other things in life too unrelated to my fitness goals :)
Go M E!!!!
Thanks Tamara! I am so ready...:)
