My journey begins

So its kinda weird to be typing this, but i am over weight. I have always been big, and it hasn't really bothered me too much. But recently i have noticed that i am not as healthy as i used to be. Things i was able to do, 3 years ago, have become really difficult. This has really forced me to look at myself and my lifestyle and really commit to a change. So this is the beginning of my journey, not to a small pants size, but rather to better health.

My plan is to blog every once in a while, perhaps once a week, my progress for good or worse. I don't plan on taking on this thing full speed, its not a sprint but a marathon. Start slowly changing eating habits, and get exercise at a constant interval.

Yesterday i tried jogging as far as i could, which to my dismay isn't that far. Ankles are not ready for the pounding of a run with the weight im carrying, got to train them first. So i walked the rest of the 1.5 miles. I know its the not the most intense way to burn calories, but like a said before small steps.

The hard part will be food control, we will see how hard it will be to brake those habits.

Til next time.
