i'm only a few days new to this, and so far, i'm doing ok. i've been taking baby steps, been working out on my own for a little over a month.
a little about me...i am 28, and just sick of being unhealthy. i'm friends with a lot of heavier people, and noticed recently that i have taken on that lifestyle as well, and want to get back on track! i used to walk 6-8 miles a day, and remember the days when i felt good about myself in shorts, a bathing suit (naked!! eeekkk!!!!) and i want to get back to that!!
i'm running in my very first 5K ever this sunday, and i'm very nervous, but i'm taking it on as a personal challenge to see where i am mentally and physically.

i am a member at planet fitness, and love it there, but it gets lonely working out alone!! i wish i had the courage to go up to someone working out alone and say "hey! let's be workout buddies for the day!" i am there 6 days a week at various times...i am not working right now, so i am taking up getting into shape as my "job!!"

i could definitely use a buddy...so if you're in the same boat as me, let's chat and keep each other motivated!!! )
