Introducing myself

Hello, everyone! I have been reading this blog since Day 1 and signed up right away to be a contributor. But life got in the way, so this is my first post, and it is just a quick note to introduce myself and tell you all how much I appreciate your contributions so far.

If I were to share with you my story, it would echo many of the themes you have already seen here: sitting for too many hours every day at work, clothes no longer fitting, seriously dreading mirrors, lack of time and energy for exercise, etc. I am mostly vegan and usually make healthy food choices, but I am really struggling with activity.

I have tried unsuccessfully for nearly two years to get regular exercise incorporated back into my life. I feel like I have tried everything, but I know that is not true. I am at a point now where I know things have to change. Really. You can see some of my recent thoughts on the subject here.

That's all for tonight, but look for regular contributions from me soon. Thank you all for participating and making this blog possible, and I look forward to getting active with you!
