I thought it might be fun to create a blog where I can share my thoughts, failures, triumphs, fears, and general tiredness and exhaustion during this challenge. I will be 31 this October and all I want is to be strong and healthy. Hopefully some weight loss occurs from me eating well and working out but I think I do best when I'm not so focused on the weight and what the scale says. However, this challenge is ultimately about numbers so I have to find a way to balance that with my desire to just be healthy, damn it. Three weeks until the official weigh-in where measurements will be taken. I am excited about the measurements. It's because I know how much I weigh (even though if I step on my scale 3 times in a row, it will give me a different number every time) but I have no idea of my measurements. It excites me to find out something new about my body I don't know. This last year I found out lots of new things about my body, like how it looks when my belly button turns inside out. And how it feels to have a human being inside my stomach, kicking me. How it feels to have my innards moved around and squished together to accommodate said human being. Mmm-hmm, lots of new things. So, measurements are exciting.
I am looking forward to this, all of this, and I really hope that it sets me on the right track for the rest of my life. To be a strong as a horse, and to be relaxed and happy.
