I have a little secret to confess...I am not fit.  That may not be a huge revelation to some if they don't know me.  For those who do, it is somewhat of a surprise.  I am 5'7" and somewhere between 115-120 lbs.  Sounds skinny, right?  It is, but it doesn't mean I am healthy.  For the last five years, I have struggled with my body image.  I am just like the majority of us women...I have some serious issues with the way I look.  It's taken a while, but I am slowly starting to realize that my life should not obsessively revolve around how thin I am or what my body looks like.  I should be more concerned about my health.  I can't even climb the stairs at work without getting winded...so yeah, there's definitely a fitness issue there.  So, I am starting this to chronicle a journey for better lifestyle choices.  Bare with me, there are sure to be junk food lapses, starvation urges, and grammatical errors.  But I need the accountability of airing my struggle out in the open where people can see it.  One day at a time, I hope to find that seemingly unobtainable balance.  Admitting there is a problem is the first step, tomorrow I will brief you on my past experiences and set some goals.  Until then...
