Introduction
Welcome to My Blog
It’s 8:52 on a Friday night. I just finished a large plate of fettuccine noodles because tomorrow I’m running a marathon. Most people wouldn’t believe I’m about to attempt a marathon, let alone finish one. Truth be told when I look at myself I don’t even believe that I’m doing it. It’s not that I haven’t trained-I’ve even completed one before. It’s not that I’m not excited to run with over ten thousand people. As I’m writing these words, inside I feel disappointment. I feel that I’m not living up to my potential and wasting away the opportunities that each day brings. The root of my negative thinking is that I’m overweight. The reason I’m overweight is not because I don’t workout, it’s because I eat too much food.
My food addiction is so bad that I will binge eat multiple bags of chips on the car ride home from the grocery store. It’s embarrassing to look down and see my shirt covered in chip dust like a toddler who gets food everywhere.
To combat these negative thoughts and overcome my addiction towards food, I’ve started this blog. I believe that if you want to overcome a negative habit in your life you must replace it with a new one, even more exciting.
Gorging on food fills me with good sensations but I always feel ashamed after. I chose writing as my outlet because I can see my progress in real time. It excites me knowing that I’m taking control of my life, my circumstances and creating freedom! I will also improve my grammar, vocabulary and communication skills by writing.
The goal of this blog is simple. To document my journey getting into the best shape of my life in 85 days.
Each day I will share a post documenting my progress. I will provide details into my workouts and diet. I’ll include a daily picture to document my results. I will also upload a daily progress video to my TikTok and YouTube channel.
It means the world to me that you’ve decided to read my blog. Tomorrow I will cover more details of what my journey will look like over the next 84 days.
