Let's Get Started!!

Yeah ME...I just ran in my first ever 5K!! A goal my sisters and I set back in January. More on that soon.

I am in the process of restructering this blog. I've had it since the end of last year and really haven't done much with it. Why? Like the usual story line of my life...I didn't know WHAT to do with it. Well, I have found it! Fitness & Spirituality. Will it be AUTHENTIC..You BETCHTA!!

I am so new to this lifestyle. I am NOT an athletic person in any sense of the word. I was always the last one picked in gym class...in fact in High School I would have Dr. notes as to not participate in gym. The funny thing is I like to LOOK athletic. I love dressing the part but the problem is the inside didn't match the outside...which is one of my pet peeves. I have sat 41 years and believed all the lies that would keep me stuck from being FIT and STRONG.

This last January changed all of that. I am going to backtrack to January 2009 and bring us up to date as quick as I can so we can pick up from today....BECAUSE we have lots of 5K's to run this summer and fall!! Lots of P90X...clean eating...boot camps...planning our own 5K and lots more.

The big picture:

It can be done: Forty one - moderate ulcerative colitis - five kids later - unhealthy relationship and NOT rich:) introvert...Together we are going to excavate my/our authentic selves...who God intended me/us to be.

I Samuel 7:12 says, " Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us."...thank you Father that thus far you have helped me. There is nothing good that my heart seeks that you have not initiated.

Lets get started!!
