ok....so THAT didn't happen, but THIS did.....


I realize that I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping this up to date. Well, a lot has happened since last we met.  The house thing.....eh..didn't happen.  Alas, it was just not meant to be.  Between the two of us...I think me and 'The Accomplice'(at this point...he's more than a BoyFriend and more like a partner in crime)dodged a bullet on it.  It was a beautiful place, it had glorious potential, but I think we were a little ambitious in our aspirations.  eh, it happens.  

So, we adjust our sails and sail on.  While he searches for another likely abode, I have developed a deep need to punch stuff.  I kickbox at least 4 times a week.  I had begun my journey into better health with Pride Fitness... and I enjoyed it and all the people there, but I needed more.  I found Bodyfit kickboxing and I go 4 nights a week now, and Saturday mornings too.  You may not see the changes above....but I do.  First of all, the picture on the right is the first time I've ever liked a full length picture of myself. Wanna know why?  Because it shows how strong I am, it's not a passive picture, I'm an active participant.  

Change is so much more than what's on the scale.  Change is attitude and finding the strength to work at it every day and knowing that eventually...you'll get where you are meant to be.  It's a slow process, and that's ok. I'm in this for the long haul, I'm not looking for a temporary fix.  I signed up for the Warrior Dash on September 28th, 2013....that's a couple days before my 49th birthday.  I 'm not going to be the fastest participant, and I'm ok with that.  I am going to be a participant... and that's the important part.  

Participate in your life. Don't just let it happen to you. MAKE it happen FOR you.
