"Feel Great in 8" - starts Monday!

Yeah, it's been a while since I've written.  I've had a lot going on.  I think since I last wrote, I've become a CrossFit Level 1 certified trainer.  I'm so proud of that...I can't even begin to say how proud of that I am!  I'm also getting ready to graduate with my bachelor's degree in December.  WOO!  This has been an accomplishment 24 years in the making.  I never, ever thought I would get to finally finish what I started (poorly) at 18.  Dreams really do come true!

And I'm about to embark on a change that I am ready to embrace fully at this time.  Our little gym is starting a program called "Feel Great in 8" (oh yeah, I thought up that brilliant and hot name!).  It's an 8 week program designed to improve nutrition, fitness, and overall health.  I am ready to do this.  My weight is stalled out in the 232-235 range, which is probably lower than last time I wrote.  But still not low enough. 

I'm also doing a running program at work that is helping me train for a 5K in November.  I'm nervous and excited all at the same time.  Last actual 5K I tried to run was in 2008, and I finished next-to-last.  My little brother fell on the sword and let me cross ahead of him.  I don't want to repeat that performance.  I know there will be people walking this 5K, so hopefully I won't come close.  But if I do, then I'm going to try my best to not let it bother me.

I am hoping to be able to update more frequently with my journey through this 8 week program.  If anyone is actually reading, your comments would be welcome!

Until next time...
