HEALTHY.
Ouch.
That sucks. BAD. I have it all going for me in my life. It truly is a blessed life! But what good does that do me if I can't enjoy it to the fullest because of my health?
Am I the most unhealthy and overweight person to have embarked on a journey such as this? No. Although, I suppose by medical standards, I am considered obese. Ouch again. I also have borderline high cholesterol, which I get no help with from genetics, so I have to work doubly hard to control that! I also have aching joints and muscles that I just shouldn't have. I'm not even 30. I know it's from all this extra weight I'm carrying around.
So why should you follow my blog? You're probably thinking I'm just some other random shlub with a weight loss blog. Who cares, right? Well, I am feeling this is more of a two way street. I need followers as a source of accountability. Sure I do have a supportive network of family and friends. But there is something to be said about putting it all out there for all to see. There is no place to hide if it's all out there. Plus, I also feel that I want to be a source of inspiration and hopefully even a little bit of entertainment too! We all have the ability to be healthy individuals who enjoy life to the fullest, so it is great that we can all be there for each other!
Tomorrow is October 1, 2011. My official start date of this long, hard, but oh-so-worth-it journey of mine. Stay tuned, as I will be kicking off my journey with quite a BANG!
