I'm my first anniversary of 29 years of age and decided it's time to be healthy so I can reach many, many anniversaries of 29.

How did I start?

I made tiny changes to my diet, and continue to do so frequently. I made this blog to track my journey to being the most fit I've been (minus high school, I was a crazy athlete once).

I joined a fitness class. I took kickboxing last year and quit during the summer months. I rejoined in November of 2012 and continue to attend this class. I struggle with motivation from time to time.

I signed up for my first half-marathon. Let me rephrase, I signed up for my first road race ever, and completed it within my goal time. I struggle to convince myself that I may enjoy running.

I have a running partner. We motivate each other to actually, physically run. We try to run twice a week.

What else?

I don't know how much I weigh. I don't know my "starting weight" I don't have a goal weight. This is a forever lifestyle and I found I became obsessed with the number on the scale. I would even go as far as giving up and bingeing if I didn't see the number I thought I should.

I see results in how my clothes fit and how I feel mentally and physically.

I have an anxiety disorder that is completely controlled by fitness and nutrition. This keeps me motivated.

I'm not too strict with my diet because I love food. I know myself and realize I need to eat pasta for my next meal or else I will go crazy and eat an entire pizza soon.

I'm still learning.
