The Journey...

I started this blog in 2010 under the title "The Fat to Fit Chronicles" to document the training for and completion of my very first half-marathon. My decision to train was the first step on my journey from fat to fit. In my former life I was 319 lbs, depressed, and living a "less than" life.

Over the course of training I discovered a passion for fitness and helping others. So this blog has morphed into something more than just my musings and venting. My hope is that when you leave this blog you have learned something or picked up something valuable to aide you along your own journey.

So mount up, Posse, and let's go from Fat to Fit!!

35 days left!!!! OMG I'm freaking out!

Wow, time flies!!! I only have 35 days left until the half marathon and I'm starting to doubt myself a little bit. The next few weeks I'm just gonna focus on getting my miles in to work up my endurance.

This whole journey has been crazy-cool. I've had to shift my "sight" from what I see with my natural eye to seeing what's going on beneath the surface. My pants are falling off my butt--granted, I don't have much butt. My shirts are fitting better. I feel like Xena/She-ra and healthwise my body is in great shape. These changes have made me look at other aspects of my life.

For the first time since 2005 I'm tracking my eating. And while it's not horrible, it could be better. I'm not getting enough veggies and need to take a daily multi-vitamin. Also, my protein choices tend to be too fatty. Need to incorporate more fish and leaner cuts.

One step at a time, one foot in front of the other. Big changes start with the consistent application of smaller changes. "I move onward, the only direction"
