in Introduce Yourself
I think this is probably my third time attempting to gauge my food intake by logging, but it is far from my third time trying to get in shape, get fit, get active, and get healthy. This time, I'm hoping I can get past insecurities and fears and do what is right for me without second-guessing myself and reverting back to bad-habits. Habits that comfort me, habits that feel safe. Habits that bring me down, habits that hinder my growth as a person.

I have heard communities can be helpful, but I find that I am only truly accountable to myself. Personally, strangers on a screen haven't helped me in the past but I do love to read inspirational success stories. I just wanted to introduce myself because, maybe this time will be different, maybe I'll connect with someone, I don't know. Introducing myself just seemed like the thing to do, I suppose.

I love to run, I have downloaded the C25k app and I am going to start the training program.
I am going to drink water instead of soda. I love my Bobble. (filtered water - always)
I want to be comfortable in my own skin. I want to be comfortable in my own clothes.
I want to be happy. I have to take control of my life and stop being so afraid of it.

This time, I'm going to try to commit to a live of adventure, honesty, love and happiness.

Honesty is the key I believe - I need to be honest with myself. it's so easy to lie to yourself every second of every day. I am hoping that keeping a journal will help. I'll write down my thoughts, feelings, activities, etc., and hope that it makes a difference this time.

So, I'm starting over. This time - I hope things will be different.

    I could have written this. This is also my third time trying this app out. Just for myself. So i can be held accountable for what i put In my body. I seldom post, or respond to a post in the "community" but i do look and read stories as well for inspiration
    ..
    but i felt inclined to say "I feel you, dude!" Man, oh man, I hope I can get myself motivated to get back in shape!

    I used to run just for fun and i would really like to get back to running everyday. That is my largest goal, just to be in shape and feel good. If I get a little sexier on the way, I'll take it!

    I started walking 2 days ago. Just walking. Baby steps i suppose. I have come to the realization that Ii am sooooo out of shape. Today hurt more than I expected.. jogging as fast as my body would take me lol !! I am proud that I got up and did something :)
    I wish you the best of luck. I hope ill stay on here and use this for support as well. For now I'm taking it day by day.

    P.S. Love "tri-ing". Clever :) Brace yourself for a overused cliche: Third time's a charm!!
