Put one foot in front of the other.. A hello to NF

[Trista]

Hey NF!

I'm Trista and no that isn't my real name more like a Pen name of sorts until I slowly (hopefully) get to know you all better. I am 26 years old, Single, Female and been overweight.. for what's felt like my entire life. When I was younger I used to dance for 15 years. I am one of those New year types but a found NF through Stumbleupon. let's see 2 days ago? Found it immediately addictive and subsequently found and watched Transformers (the first one with shia labouf) for the first time 2 days ago. I am a bit of a Nerd, love Roleplaying (usually am found on secondlife). when I was younger till about 8th grade I danced for 15 years. When I went to high school I kinda let it go and lsot myself in a relationship that lasted 8 years. The Past is the past, and I finally got out of it spending the past two years working on -me- and giving myself attention that I realize I totally deserve now. I have an Associate Degree but enrolled as a freshmen in a 4 year Graphic Design program. The Project I've sort of entitled 'Getting my Rawr back' Which fits when you learn that I am a Leo. I have learned so much about myself and hope to Upgrade my Life, and my Health. My Family health history only works to encourage this. I hope this place will be a way to keep me on the journey to health, along with one of my best friends being my accountability buddy. I'd love some suggestions on where to start in this community, Is totally inspiring,it almost seems daunting (just a bit). But Rome wasn't built in a Day, and As Snow Mizer says "put one foot in front of the other" PM/IM/email me whatever. I'm friendly! I do not know if I'll be using this blogging feature for the sole purpose of I already have been blogging in wordpress. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hey Trista (and Jenny), welcome aboard! If you're looking to get started, I recommend you learn about how to eat a Paleo diet. If you're looking to get in shape, eating healthily is most of the battle. Exercise and setting specific, measurable goals are the remainder.
