Put up or shut up

I started this blog a long time ago, thinking it would give me the external motivation I needed to finally get my weight under control and start living healthy. Well, apparently that did not work.

External motivating factors, especially one as narsissitic and fleeting as a blog, do not work. Motivation must be internal.

Yeah, I know, duh.

I've had some powerful realizations lately, life changing, game changing realizations. And now I'm in the game.

I am committed to being fit and healthy and smart about weight loss and I hope to chronicle some of that experience here. My goal is to hit my "ideal weight" but the end of the year and complete a 10K race. It is a challenge. But I'm up to it.
