I almost forgot! Weight: 215 Height: 5'9 I'll get measurements added soon!

Well, I've sat on the thought of joining the blog for the last few days. I finally decided to put on my shoes and go with it! I've become a robot and really worked hard to educate myself in proper nutrition (not just smaller portions of the same processed crud). I did start the challenge last week. However, this week I realized how important, accountability truly is! I would love to say I can work out solo and do some serious business. However, that's just not me. I'm as social as they come, including weight loss. So to start out, I am going to Shapes fitness! I would love to someday be at the cross fit level. Until then, I go to just about every group fitness class I can. (Including a workout at 5 am and a evening workout!) Side note: Last May, I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance, Sjogren's Syndrome and well laziness (okay, maybe not so much the last one! but hey, it's the truth!) Over the summers, I'm thankful to have a travel job with four awesome college kids. Normally, I travel and eat terribly. However, this summer was different. We hiked and ate well most of the summer. I am already on month 4 of gluten free living! So adding in Paleo should be pretty good for me. My biggest challenge is sticking to my exercises. I'm done with the ups and downs, the fads, the attempts to start a workout and end two weeks later in defeat. No longer my dear friend, no longer! I am a CHAMPION! Here are my goals to get to my championship status: 1. Run a mud race by Dec. - Will update with date as soon as I can find someone to run with! 2. Maintain the Paleo diet - Absolutely NO candy or soda. Kick the sugar to the curb! - Plan meals EVERY Sunday - Keep food log and notebook with recipes for help 3. Schedule workouts and GO! - Schedule workouts for the week EVERY Sunday - log workouts - weigh in and measurements ONLY on Sunday. Life Goal: $ 500 into saving account. Welp, there you have it!
