Attempt # 2 at trying to keep a blog:
What better day to start blogging than today.
1. It is the first of the month and
2. I started my 6-week training program with x-team fitness.
(http://www.xteamfitness.com/) Everyone should join. It's awesome.
It is basically a military training bootcamp style workout. I love it because:
1. The people are great
2. It is one hour of no BS, just working out
3. It is outdoors 5-days a week at 6am or 6pm!
4. We workout at a different spot in Richmond everyday and every week.
It is a great way to explore Richmond and find some awesome new places to go
and 5. I am starting to get in the shape I want to be in.
Weight has always been a struggle for me but I can finally honestly say I feel like I have a handle on it now. Since the New Year I have given up fast food and joined the VCU club crew team which has changed my life. It has not only gotten me to where I want to be fitness level but it has helped motivate me to want to better myself, plus I have met some amazing people along the way! I have lost 13 pounds since the New Year and I plan to lose 15 to 20 more. I feel absolutely amazing and actually have gained some confidence. It feels good. But.....
What I am really trying to focus on now is trying to be really truly honestly happy and finding myself through it all. I have been trying to be on a positive kick lately and through it I have found that things really do go your way when you believe they will. I always tell myself "Today is going to be a great day," and most of the times they are, but when I sit back and look at it all I think, am I really happy doing what I am doing; was that day really a great day or did I just say it was to feel better. These are the thoughts I am trying to get rid of. I want to say "Today is going to be a great day," and "I am truly happy and have all the things I want in life," and actually REALLY mean it.
I have been doing a lot of reading about positive energy and attracting things into your life and while some don't believe in it, I am a firm believer. (http://thesecret.tv/) <-- If you haven't read The Secret, go out and get it, it will change your life. This blog is my attempt to really open up and let people know who I am and how I feel. I feel like I block most people out and always just put on a smile and act like my crazy outgoing self but this is your time to really get to know me, if you want! This is my attempt to true happiness! Enjoy <3

Kim- Great blog post! I always wanted to keep a blog. I had to do a few for school, but none were really personal. Keep up the good work with the training!! I wish I lived near you, I would totally workout with you!! I have been running and going to the gym. I have lost about 12 pounds, but I am having trouble losing anymore. I have been pushing myself at the gym, but I need to makeover my diet!!! lol
