in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm Candi and I've been logging in since late Januray. I'm down 8 lbs so far, and have 49 more to go! There will be more, but 49 sounded less daunting than 74!)

I'm chronicling my fitness endeavors on a blog. I've signed up for the Warrior Dash in Central Texas in November, which gives me time to train and get fit. I chose this race for several reasons- 1-It is sooo not my kind of thing to do (not very outdoorsy) 2-I really don't like dirty or murky water, and this forces me to get over that 3-It requires stamina and some strength, both of which I need.

I'm excited, almost obsessed, about the changes I've already seen in the last two months. I am enjoying exercising and already looking forward to my next workout.

I hope you will check out my blog and share your story, too!

    I will be 40 in October and also started this journey in January (the 19th). Keep up the excitement along this endeavor, you will do great! I wish I had the guts to sign up for a run or walk of any kind. Thinking about doing walk for life this year (I've only done volunteering in the past, no walking). Have a great week!
