How exactly do you make a good first post? There's obviously no right or wrong answer because it's different for everyone. But for me I think I'll just tell you a little bit about me...
I'm 24 years old and I live with my parents. I thought by the time I was 24 I'd have it all figured out, but let me tell you, I most certainly do not! I went to the Savannah College of Art and Design and graduated with a BFA in Sound Design in August of 2010 but had some quarter life crisis and decided not to really pursue a job in the area I had originally thought I would.
Some how I ended up in Northern Indiana to be a nanny for a family with 2 children and a sick mother. Well the mom recuperated and now I'm back in Savannah where I grew up... unemployed.
So now I'm back where I started! I don't want to be a nanny again but I'm not sure what else to do. I've been applying for all sorts of jobs because I have office assistant, fundraising and a little event planning experience. Hopefully something will come to light soon, but until then I'm focusing on getting healthy!
I joined Weight Watchers in January of 2012 weighing in at 189. It's definitely not the highest I've weighed but that's where it all started this time. I've done this program before but I've never really committed. This time I've made it a life change. I'm not going back to the girl I was!
I kick-started my weight loss with the Couch to 5K program. I reached that HUGE goal of mine on March 9th! I was never a runner, even though I was a pretty active athlete until I graduated high school. In the beginning running a minute was a HUGE challenge. Now I run a mile comfortably under 10 minutes! That's bananas. Next, is training for a 10K and hoping to start training for a half this June and then actually run the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon in November.
That's my story! Tomorrow I have an early morning 3 mile (my
long run for week 1 of training) run with my friend, Victoria from over @
Victoria Runs
and some kitchen spring cleaning. I'm forcing my mom to empty out the
panty and refrigerator. It's gotten out of hand! I swear there are 3
half full bottles of Worcestershire sauce... that's unnecessary.
