When I started college in 2000, I refused to gain the college 15. I began eating clean and exercised on a regular basis. After graduation my weight kept going up because I kinda got busy with work and got comfortable. I think in 2007 I decided to do something about it. I started running. Running became my obsession for a while. In two years I completed about 10 5k's, 4 10k's and and 3 1/2 marathons. I was able to lose some weight but as soon as I stopped running the weight crept back up. So here I am in 2014 and have decided to take a different approach. I am now going to take weight lifting seriously and use running as my relaxation or fun cardio. Just like I challegenged my body in training for the 1/2 marathons, I want to see what would happen if I challenge my body by weight lifting.

It makes me feel confident when normally I would feel self conscious. And I sleep better.
