And so it begins....

Ah, beginnings...they're always the hardest. Once you get going on a project it tends to speed up, but it's always that brainstorming period and those first arduous hours trying to find direction that take the longest. In fact, this period of time can be so agonizing that it causes one to throw up their arms in defeat and just say "screw it." That is precisely why I am starting this blog and sharing this journey of mine with the world. This way my arms are busy at the keyboard, and I'm keeping focus rather than losing it.

This is a journal of sorts, and it's also a tool. My intention is to document my 25th year in regard to my career and health/fitness aspirations and possibly get some feedback from others in similar situations. I have realized over the last seven months that if I don't keep track of myself I start to wander somewhat aimlessly in my life. I've decided that that was okay for graduation day up until now, but now that another year of life has come and gone I need to start re-gaining focus and concentrating on my goals.

It's sometimes hard to swallow this truth, but no one is looking out for your dreams except for you which is why you are the only one who is going to make them happen or let them slip away. This is part of my attempt at the former.
