An introduction
Recently I was scouring through the blogosphere trying to find up-to-date information on fitness/health news. Although I found plenty of Newspapers with "health and fitness" sections, the majority of the articles were about vaccinations, the bird flu, etc. And that's not what I wanted.
About a year ago, a friend of mine sent me an email and asked me to join her in the "Self Challenge." I had been working out with this friend for a couple of months, but we weren't too dedicated and usually ended the workout by pigging out on fast food.
Long story short, for the first time in my life I started counting calories, working out regularly, getting in intense cardio, and just being generally aware of my health. I had gained about 30 pounds since I started college. A year later, I've completely changed my eating habits and healthful eating has become a lifestyle and not hard work. I look forward to my workouts and the intensity has decreased some because I'm now at my ideal weight (25 pounds lighter than when I started).
The whole point of the story is to show readers that I've been through it, and I'm still working at maintaining a healthy and in-shape lifestyle. I want to share articles, fitness tips, work outs... anything that interests me about this lifestyle.
I hope you'll join me.
