Sept 29, 2010 - My first everything

Ok so I'm 31. I have a son who is almost three. I work a lot. I love my job (I publish a magazine and host a radio show - and I only cover things that I like). When I was young (pre-child) I was always rail thin, I ran about 6 kms a day and I was very healthy.
When I carried my son I gained a huge amount of weight (70 lbs). Told ya it was a huge amount of weight!
Anyway, I have never gotten over how unhappy I am with my weight and image. I finally decided that it was time to get healthy, so I started to run again and I even started lifting some weights and doing other strength training exercises. My goal is to be healthy and fit.

Here's a photo of me now (I cringed when I decided to do it, but I thought it would be a great motivator!)

Anyway, I am going to go running now. My plan is to work out every day, alternating between cardio (three days per week) and weight/strength training (four days/week). I will eat healthy and will update my blog once per week.

Since my goal weight is 135 lbs, this means I must lose an average of 5 lbs per month for the next six months. March 29, 2011 being my final weigh in day.

OK well I'm headed out for my run now! see ya!
