First Blog Post - the dream begins!

As our push-up and jog/run forum explodes I realized how infectious encouragement and support is on this site. We are doing it baby! See, each of us are realizing that there are no limits to what we can and can not do.

As I was chating with Katie on the forum I realized that you know what a marathon...5k? nah!!
No I'm going for it!! So I called my honey up and told him what I want to do. LOS ANGELOS MARATHON 2010!!! I want the whole year to train. I feel fit enough to take this baby on. With my honey being Kenyan and all it's in his blood. It's not about time. I want to see what I can do. If it's 10 miles of the the whole marathon then so be it. I just want to set a long term goal and accomplish it.

I'm at a stalemate with my weightloss. There's not much more I can do to get the scale moving other then to finish the move Rod and I planned in May. Then I will have 100% control over my food. I've made changes all the way around and I need a jumpstart - a goal that will make me be proud - proud of how far I've come.

So Rod and I will have a serious talk about it tonight. I will need my teammates and tribemates to help encourage me and support me with love as well as tough love!!!! I want to do this and I will do this!!!!!

I don't care if I walk/jog/run or limp the thing - all I know is I want it for me. I'm starting to realize that I have a spark and interest in living life that never once was there till I became a Buddyslimmer and exercise enthusiast. I found my niche and I will claim it.

On the subject on weightloss - I'm beginning to see why I have a hard time losing weight. There's a mental block. See, as much as I'm doing this for myself...I also want the approval of my lifemate - my honey. To him, I'm at a decent weight, too small for his taste as he likes thicker women but just enough meat left for him to grab on to.

So whether or not I lose 1 more lb. I want to enjoy life today. I want to do things and not worry about how many calories I ate and what the scale tells me. I'm wearing a solid size 7 and a 5 here and there. I am wearing small and medium shirts. I fit into all my old small clothes. So for that reason I will enjoy the journey.

So the Marathon - is my way to continue to tone up and get fitter and live a full life!!!!!!! And I'm taking my honey on the ride with me. This is something we can do together.

I'm rambling but that's because I'm excited for what's to come!!!
So my question is - WHY ARE YOU LOSING WEIGHT?
