I am a 30-something girl that really needs a lot of motivation to help me lose some weight. After reading a lot of other people's blogs, I decided that starting my own blog might be a great way to hold me accountable. After all, should I ever get any readers, I wouldn't want to let them down. If you want to know more about why I started a blog, you can read that here.
I have lived many places in my life including Houston, Atlanta, and Washington, DC, but I am currently in Orlando and have lived here almost 7 years now. Crazy how time flies!

I actually live with my trainer, Jason, but being that we live together and I don't pay him to train me anymore, we have a hard time finding time that works in both of our schedules to train. When I used to train with him regularly, I was almost 50 lbs. lighter, so we made a deal to start that back up again. I'm excited to get back into him kicking my ass on a regular basis!!
Between Jason and myself, we have a total of 4 dogs - yes I said 4!! It's makes for a crazy household, but there's always someone around that wants to snuggle and you can't beat that!

By day I am a civil engineer. Everyone always asks me what I actually do and I design airfields - i.e., runways, taxiways, aprons, etc. People always seem to be impressed when I tell them this, but it really isn't as interesting as it sounds. I have never thought of myself as your typical engineer as I actually am a very social person. I like to think of it as a compliment when people tell me that I don't seem like an engineer.
Two of my favorite things in the world are beer and trivia. Combine them into the same night and I couldn't be happier!!
I have always been active. I played all kinds of sports growing up and I played softball in college at Georgia Tech (Go Jackets!). I have done countless numbers of 5K races and I have done 4 sprint triathlons. Running has always been a nemesis of mine and has become even harder for me over the years (and pounds), but I'm determined to conquer my running demons. Even though I've stayed active, I definitely could be better about working out.

In addition to running, my other nemesis (and the real reason I've gained weight) is food. I have a really hard time eating healthy, but I'm determined to make a change.
Join me in my quest to love not hate running, get fit, lose weight, and be healthy!
