Beginning

Well, I'm off on a new journey.  I have struggled with my weight for most of my life.  Sure I'd love to be slim for the same reasons any other 27 yr old does, to fit into sexy clothes, find the man of my dreams, and to be able to walk on a beach with out feeling self conscious.  More importantly though, I want to be able to run, climb, and hike without feeling worn out or having to take a day off from exercising afterwards to recover and let the pain subside.  I want to do this for my health, to prevent diseases that loom in my future if I don't do something to change.  So here I go, I'm off on a journey to become a healthier me.
