Why Am I Doing This???

Well to piggy back off of the thought of the day, Why am I doing this?  I am doing this because ever since i moved out to the Washington DC area, I have been in a funk of homesickness.  Once a person graduates from college, its pretty hard to make new friends.  In this area, so many people move in for a year and leave the next year its pretty hard to really have a group of people around you who may have some of the same interests as you and if you do find acquaintances, its usually from work and we all don't want to talk about work on our days off!! So for me that has been difficult. I have gained so much weight that when I went to my high school reunion a year ago, people did not recognize me! It was sad.  Long sad story short, I tried many diets and programs lost some weight but it all came back.  I have a wedding in June and some health issues that I am too young to have and now is the time to change it!  I see that many coaches and people are very supportive of each other and this program seemed like a positive place to make the change happen for me.  One thing I do have to say is that I believe that if we can get the nutrition part down, then we will be able to keep our fitness goal in tact.  I believe that its 80% nutrition 20% exercise.  Think about it, ask someone whom you know that it older than middle age or middle age and they "still look good".  If you notice, they exercise and they keep a very close eye on what they are putting into their mouths.   So to end this blog today, I hope people read it, I am really starting to like the whole blogging thing and i hope that people will help each other in keeping this their goals.  I really like to see that people in this test group are positive because you never know what a person in the group is going through, it seems like many of us are going through trying times at this moment.  So a little hand clap ( high five), smile, or words of encouragement may do wonders for a single person!  Lets keep the positivity alive!!
