Hi all,
I have been a DailyStrength user for years now and fought many battles emotionally, physically etc. I'm back a few years later feeling matured and ready to pursue more 'head on' - now as a 'recovered' person from an eating disorder, re-energized post chronic fatigue, recovering from depression and off the drugs - yes!!! progress!!!
Having a full time amd much more 'set' schedule with work gives me some time to negotiate but it's the challenge in maintaining focus around a busy lifestyle as you all know i'm sure!
I aim to be positive and what do I need from you helpful stranger you may ask? ; help with positive thinking and even a fitness buddy or two to roll on through the hard times, the brick walls whatever they may be which are inevitable but I count as appreciated learnings and growth!
Now.... my goals will be listed in my diary and I'll be adding typical eating plans, some body specific photos of my target areas where appropriate, and inspirational quotes I discover. My plan is to work out every second day to allow for recovery time and energy to go hard at each workout, and to cut out junk food 'eating clean'.
Along the way I'm discovering more deeply cooking great vegetarian, vegan and raw food as is my love of healthy cruelty free eating!
I'm also going tracking my head hair growth, as I want to grow my hair out naturally without dying or any major cuts. I can include photo's too.. SO HERE WE GO for my self makeover! Because I want this to be not just physical!
Bear with me, Be with me, Encourage me, challenge me people.
I can't wait to see the results for a bikini body by Summer 2012 and for my 28th birthday. I'll be using a combo of walking, bike riding and various home dvd's for fitness coaching.
I hope I'm not alone as this is a fitness discussion group right?! =)
Give me a hollar if you are up to it!

About your working out every second day thing, I never actually considered it. I mean Id like to work out every day cuz I need to lose major weight, but do you think I should try doing every second day at first so I keep up my routine?
Shoot me a message please! Thanks!
"Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you plan to stop peddling" So plan to stay in the direction you're going and keep going.... not allowing life's clutter get in your way. Well done! Peace LV
~ Feeling inspired, positive and committed. The benefits are there once you take the initiative and make fitness a lifestyle approach rather than a punishment for over-eating, a guilty habit, or an overly idealistic goal. I really look forward to reaping the benefits and after only one week having started I am feeling more energy, and generally better about my self for taking the steps in this direction. I'm taking this tranformation as a way to extend myself, and look after myself.
My challenge at the moment is sticking to a solid sleeping pattern but that's this week's goal as every little bit counts and takes a while to kick in. We all often underestimate the power of 'rest' and our body clock don't we! Thanks for the encouragement please keep it coming!
