Almost two years ago I stopped writing.  I am not sure what happened to cause  this, but I just stopped.
I didn't stop walking  though.  I actually made it to New Orleans through steps and celebrated in a small way.  I have yet to actually go back to New Orleans.  Money has been tight and stress has been high and I've gained weight.

HOWEVER!!!  I joined Nerd Fitness.
I have a new goal now.
I am walking to DisneyLand!!  It will be in steps and not in reality - but I am doing it!

1,019 miles from my house to Disneyland in Los Angeles California
15 hours 3 minutes by car (we need to go there!)
It says it will take me 355 hours to walk it that's 14 straight days of walking.  lets see how long it takes.

Just so I have it somewhere solid - I measured my starting weight for this round of loosing weight and getting healther.  I am dedicated to it.

188 pounds (I am jiggly) 5 feet 4 inches tall
Calf 16"
Thigh 25"
Hips 47"
Waist 39"
Chest 43"
Arm 12.5"

This is a good picture of me.  It is a bit older - about a year and half.  But you can see the weight even with the corsit.

Nerd Fitness has a whole regine, diet, weights, you name it.

I am starting with a literal handicap - I popped my thump out of joint and burst the tendon in an injury called gamers thumb or skiers thumb.  It will take at least another 6 weeks to heal and is still possible for surgery.  That being said -  I am still going to work out.  I am still going to loose the weight and get healthy.  The goal is not to be skinny - the goal is to get fit so I can do the things I want to do and stay fit.

My journey begins - and I am excited.
