Anyone who know's me knows that I am every thing but....... serious that is. This is a blessing of sorts..... and a curse. It's easier to mask lifes problems behind a cute quip and a smile, anywho, I'm very very good at it. I have however confronted myself with a problem of sorts..... a big problem. The big problem is "me". I used to be active, athletic, full of life and energy. Unfortunately I started eating in my early thirties, and didn't stop. Dread, now the serious sets in.
I now have a profound opportunity to turn my weight and health around and it's up to me to take this and run, or walk with it. I think I'll start out with a walk, that sounds much nicer to the ears of my ever sensitive knee's.
This is my journey, my weightloss journey. I have a feeling I will experience more than just a loss of mass though, there is a stir in me that has been to long comming, a stir of very great things to come!!!!
A few weeks ago I started to find the rare and nearly extinct exercise gene that I know lies somewhere burried in my genetic coding. What to do with this gene when your mind is saying let's jog and your knee's are saying "oh no you didn't". Somehow you push and prod till you find a place to start. Stop making excuses about when or how long to get moving, and just do it. Most of all though do it for yourself, feel the burn and appreciate that your alive to feel it.
I can do this, and it will be mine....... all mine....... (deep throaty laugh).
For day's, weeks, and months to come....... welcome to my journey.
