I am starting this blog as a way to document a journey that I am on.  Any time that I my husband and I see a person jogging down the sidewalk we speculate on what it is they are running from. Obviously no one would run for any other reason than to escape something, be it fat, loneliness, age, the blueberry scone they had for lunch... you name it! There is always something. I am on a quest to discover what I am running from while becoming a healthier person. 

I had two children in two years and gained a lot of weight. When I started my current job a year ago I weighed just shy of 300 pounds. I have started walking twice a day on my breaks at work, and sometimes in the evenings with my family. I now weigh 270 pounds and feel much better. I have started doing some jogging on my walks and got to wondering what exactly I am running from. I am hoping to get to the root of that by writing down my journey. 


This is a picture of me taken on June 1st. I am going to be documenting with a picture of myself in this outfit on the first of every month.
