Not long ago, less than 7 years ago, I was an unhappy woman. I weighed over 300 lbs, I was hiding from myself, from things I am sure I still don't even know about. I hated my body, and looking back at the few pictures I have from that time period for good reason, and I hated myself. Almost a decade later, I am finally making change sin my life for the positive, and have big goals ahead. The first: by January 2013, become a certified personal trainer.
There are so many steps along the way. I have so much to learn, and have no idea where to start. Though, like anyone in my situation with a lot to learn in a short amount of time, I turned to the internet. Among my recent searches you will find "how hormones affect weight loss," "women's fitness," "nutrition basics," (that one was worthless...) and the list goes on. A friend recently suggested I start a blog detailing my journey- things I've tried, things that worked, things that don't work, resources I like, resources I don't like, etc.-and I'm mulling this idea over.
What I don't want is for this new endeavor to be meaningless. Not only should it be informative for myself, but also for my potential readers. And it should serve as a resource for potential clients. In my short time researching women's fitness issues, and as a woman myself, I've learned little about fitness and nutrition, and instead been subjected to countless worthless articles about...well, not much. I need to get myself edumacated. Quick.
And so, until I decide what to call this venture, I'll be posting my discoveries here. I'll label or tag them for easy reference, and hopefully you'll enjoy them along the way, between my inconsistent self-angsty ramblings that make up my other postings. May you be as strong as you are beautiful.
