Hi everyone,

I figured instead of introducing myself over in the Newcomers section, I could just do it here. Hope that's okay. Anyways, my name is Anna and I am a college student. Over the past five or so years, I've been dealing with a chronic illness. Having finally gotten that mostly under control, I have realized that my body has taken somewhat of a toll. I've added about 20 or 30 pounds from not being able to move around much, taking medications, and just being stressed. So right now, I guess I just want to put all of that behind me and concentrate on me for now. Hopefully within the next few months I can take those pounds off and get back into shape.

I guess I plan to do that with cardio, eating right, yoga, and drinking water. I notice that it's easy for me to get into patterns of stagnancy and allow myself to not get up and move. I really want to change that but habits are stubborn. I guess I just need to stop thinking and start doing. Eghh, I just wish that I had that confidence to feel like it was worth doing. A lot of times I tell myself that it's such a long process to get in shape anyways that it doesn't matter if I "put it off till tomorrow". But I know that I keep doing this everyday. So I want to stop that. I'm going to.

Sorry to make my first post lame :-[ but I'm really just trying to get prepared for it. Believe in myself and what not...

Thanks for reading. Appreciate it!

Anna,

It's not at all lame, it's great that you took the step, the first one is the hardest. You'll be fine. Believe in yourself!

Congrats on starting this new journal.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step!
Every day that you get up in the morning and do something
positive toward your fitness goal is a victory.

Nice to meet you Anna

Hey GoGo,
OOOHhhh I hate that I screwed up the day feeling!
