I have been thinking about starting a blog lately. I have been thinking about my journey so far and how other people might be able to relate to my story or would be interested in knowing my story. I sometimes don't feel all that extraordinary. I grew up in a normal neighborhood. Many of the people in my neighborhood were older and retired. There weren't many other kids in my neighborhood so as an only child I spent a lot of time by myself making up games and passing the time.
We might want to fast forward a bit to the more interesting part. During high school I took my first yoga class. I loved it. I was never very athletic, I couldn't run, and didn't like it. I wasn't very coordinated and I'm still not. The speed at which I gained flexibility was amazing. I had always been envious of the gymnast's in my class but here was something I could do. Unfortunately there was no way to continue taking yoga so as I went off to college I left it behind. It wasn't until almost 9 years later that I was able to find a yoga studio and begin taking regular classes again that I began to feel really alive again. What had happened in the mean time was that I had graduated from college and was trying to make enough money to pay off the bills that I had created during that time. I had also gained about roughly 80lbs. I'm not sure about the exact amount of weight because I didn't weigh my self during this period of time.
Once I had begun to loose some weight I also gained self confidence. I then began to look at myself differently in doing so I began to see that all the time I had spent longing after unfulfilled dreams was holding me back and making me miserable.
I would like to explore in this blog weight loss, yoga and knitting. I'm sure along the way I will stumble on other topics of interest and explore them as well.
