I'm very excited. I have begun my first week of training for the marathon. I am not sure what goal I will be able to reach. When I was younger and healthier, I could always whip my body into good shape in a matter of 4 - 5 weeks. As I have gotten older and experienced some considerable health challenges, I have realized that I can no longer take that ability for granted.
I would love, love, love to run the full marathon. But I don't want to set my sights that high and find myself discouraged to the point of giving up, so I am going into this with the intention of completing the half marathon as a walker - which will still be a considerable achievement for me.

Phil and Amy
Did I mention that I'm a huge fan of The Biggest Loser?
I think I did, but I have hundreds of drafts that never made it to post....still gotta do something about that, but not today.
Anyhow, I have always enjoyed the show, since the beginning and before I was fat myself. While I am not a huge fan of reality tv like 'Real Chance of Love', I have always enjoyed makeover shows of all types. There's something amazing about before and afters, whether it's a home renovation, a fashion consultation, or extreme weight loss.
I especially enjoyed the recent season of TBL because Phil and Amy are from Greenville. (Although, truth be told, I spent a lot of my time rooting for Michelle and Renee.)
Phil and Amy spearheaded a 90 Day Fitness Challenge complete with regular weigh-ins and a daily newsletter. It was a sidebar in this newsletter that inspired me to join TNT.
A funny thing has happened as I approach my 2 year anniversary. I am much less concerned about my locks on a daily basis. I was never really inclined to take pictures. Y'all know this... but I made myself do it earlier on to track changes and growth. And am glad I did it.
However with the start of my business and the fact that I have to keep starting over with my weight loss goals (for various reasons) I have decided that I will post more regularly to this blog in the coming months until I reach my goal.
I want to weigh 110 lbs by May 31 when I participate in the marathon.
Can I do it? Sure.
Will I do it? We'll see.
I intend to participate in the marathon, regardless. Unless injury or illness prevents me.
