Hey! I'm Blogging!

Hello everyone! I'm finally blogging!
After two weeks of trying to figure what my password was - I thought I had changed it from the default- I found that I had been putting in the wrong user name the whole time. (I have my moments) I'm so excited, I don't know where to begin.
Many of you don't know me or of me. I am the quiet young lady with the dark hair and glasses. I decided to participate because I have briefly entertained the idea of running a marathon like most who have ever seen one on T.V., especially when Oprah did it. I turned 30 last December and I didn't FEEL 30, despite everyone telling me that my body will soon start aching and it's all down hill from there. I immediately felt defiant. I didn't want to settle for what others told me I should be and feel - like they do. Plus, I couldn't remember the last time I finished something I started. I was determined, from here-on-out, to make my life memorable. To leave some kind of a legacy that not only put a smile on my face when I'm on my deathbed, but inspired or even sparked a notion in someone's mind to try and be a little better than they were yesterday. I know I sound overdramatic, but that is just how I feel.
I started doing the weight training on Sunday. Today is my rest day. I probably won't do anything too strenuous the rest of the week because I signed up to do the 5K run/walk in Ridgeland this Saturday. I only plan on finishing, but I am eager to get out there. I may be late for Saturday's meeting, but I'll be there.
Earlier this week I learned that I am a 'social eater'. I do well to stick to a healthier diet on my own, but when I get my co-workers around, I'm like a moth to fire. So as long as I have meals planned out and made, I'm okay. But I do crave carb-heavy foods in the evening. I eat a spinach salad to abate the initial hunger and preoccupy myself as much as I can. If it gets too bad, I'll eat a baked potato - light pepper, salt,basil and olive oil. It's not too bad.
Since I don't have a computer at home ,(I'm at the library), this may be my only blog for the week. So I'll end this blog for now. I pray I see all of you this weekend. Take care!
