I am an athlete. Well, I used to be an athlete. I played volleyball, basketball, softball and at 5'2", I even ran hurdles! But then I became a professional student, and academia took priority over my health. I still ate the same, but my exercise regime went from super-charged to essentially non-existent.

Fast forward over ten years, and I'm looking at myself today and I am so disappointed in myself. I'm not eating right, I'm not exercising consistently, and according to BMI charts, I am obese - borderline morbidly obese. OMG!!

So, I have decided that the time to change is now. I start where I stand. If I want my family and friends to be healthy, I must start with myself.

Here is the fun part. I'm going to share my progress with all of you, and hopefully you'll be able to keep me on track! Keep tabs on me through my blog.

So . . . LET'S GO!
