My fitness journey

So I was reading an article, in an online fitness magazine, I subscribe to today. The topic was brought up by one of the readers, talking about her personal Aha... moment. The one when she decided for real, to be committed to getting healthy. She asked if anyone else had had one of these moments. This question sent my mind racing back in time. My personal fitness journey began, November of 2009. However; it didn't become a life change, until January 2010. That moment in time will stay with me forever. Although I would not like to relive that year of my life, I am ever so grateful for the "kick in the butt" to fitness that it has given me! I went from 160 pounds and a size 12, to 116 and a size 4. Not only do I feel great, but I love to exercise and have learned to eat more health and be responsible for portion control, which back in the day, for me meant stopping after my second or third helping of what ever tasted the best. Today, I keep track of my food intake and physical fitness. I can't imagine just sitting around and sucking down the sweets any more. So, no matter what it is that gives you that aha... moment, or when it comes to you, I hope you will take hold with both hands and your heart(this part is a must) and use it to your advantage! I know you will never regret making that change. You might just wish you had done it sooner! Here's to being fit! :D
