Dear Exercise, It's Me Karen. Long Time, No See.

Hello out there.  It's been awhile.  So here's the deal...I need to get myself back on track in the healthy lifestyle department.  
Short version of a long story...

Spent 4-ish years working out like crazy.  Pushed too hard.  Broke foot 3 times in less than a year.  Drifted away from my workouts.  Realized that when I stop working out, I get a little bit squishy.  Who knew?  Donated kidney.  Planned to bounce back from surgery and get back into serious fitness mode.  Realized that I am lazy.  Moved from TX to TN.  Realized that the little bit squishy is now more like a lot a bit squishy.  

I've managed to do workouts here and there (hello yoga, hello boxing, hello rowing, hello random 5 minute workouts in my garage) but know from experience that if I want to make a change I need to plan and commit rather than just stumbling around and working out "when I feel like it".  Guess what?  I very rarely feel like working out.  *Sigh*

I want to hold myself accountable.  I want to commit to a healthier lifestyle and thought this would be a good place to start that accountability.  This blog was always meant to be a place for me to type up my thoughts and if no one else reads it, that's ok.  Actually, in this case, I hope no one else does read this.   My hope is that I will be able to "unpack" (jk, I hate the term "unpack" to describe an analysis) what works and what doesn't so that future me can look back and see the progress...and failures too.  Hehe.

I get about 10,000 visitors to this web page every year and have no idea who is out there reading this because I haven't posted anything in a loooooonnggggg time.  So, if you are reading this, hello.  Would you leave me a comment letting me know your favorite way to workout or your favorite fitness tip or your favorite character on Game of Thrones?  That way I can be mortified by who is aware that I am on a fitness journey.....I hate the term fitness journey too....let's not call it that.
