Whats with Running the Line?

I am starting this blog as a place where I can talk about my journey to find fitness, weight loss and healthy living. As of this writing I have lost 105 pounds but more importantly I have found a way to live my life in balance. How I view food and exercise has changed.

So why "Running the Line"?

A major element of my fitness is exercise, specifically running. I am running nearly every morning. Several days a week the end of my run brings me to a pedestrian bridge with a line running directly down the middle of the bridge. As I complete my run for the day I "Run the line". The bridge and the line on the bridge symbolize my journey to find fitness.

The bridge represents crossing over from obesity, from pain, lethargy, depression and running to reduced weight, lower stress, better cardiovascular fitness.

The line on the bridge represents the balance necessary to lead a fit, healthy life.

Over the next several days, weeks, months I will share what I have found that is working for me. I will post ways that you can help me and I hope if there is some way I can help you that you will ask...

First the disclaimer

DISCLAIMER

I am in no way claiming success. I decided to go public because I want to ask my friends for their (Continued) support. I have lost weight before and gained it back plus more. and more. and more. and more. I know that the jury is still out. I know that any day I can fall off the wagon and start gaining again. In this blog I will share what has worked, what is workings and what doesn't work FOR ME.

I am asking you to hold me accountable. If you see me swimming in the fast food pool or not working out at least 5 days a week then you are hereby empowered to smack me up side my head and remind me how miserable life is when your carrying 200 extra pounds around...

On with the show
