DAY 1

I feel like every day is day 1. Day 1 of a million more days of trying to be a better steward of my body, trying to make better choices of food that goes in, energy spent, relationships built, bad habits broken....the list goes on. Today is day 1 of Confessions of a Pudgy Runner...my new exercise, food, life, chaos blog.

Just a little about Day 1 starting point. I am a 24 year old female who has never been particularly athletic, but I have always thought of fitness as something important and achievable. I played soccer in high school and got in decent shape towards the end of my 4 years there.

In college...I tried to stick to working out regularly. I definitely put on the freshman sophmore junior 15. I severely dislocated my ankle and broke my leg at the end of my junior year and put on a love 20 lbs probably. And I for sure stopped working out. I could barely run a mile when I finally decided enough was enough and I needed to get back to running.

Over the past year I have lost about 40 of my extra lbs that I have carried around. I would like to be running a half marathon in under 2 hours and I would like to lose another 20-40 lbs.

O and I am getting married! July 4, 2009. It would be nice to feel good wearing a white dress in front of 200 people.

Here is to day 1 of the journey of a lifetime!
