Been a long time...but I am back - got lots to cover- but broard overview of missing time

So I have totally forgotten I created this blog way back when when my friends asked me many questions about nutrition of what I ate to lose weight. This was when I started with Box-2b-fit -in 2008 when I was over 200 lbs -my all time low of how I saw myself physically, mentally, and emotionally. It was a difficult time for me but thank goodness for my 2 friend Neka and Aimee that we struggle through the workouts.

Unfortunately I had to stop going to the gym because of cost and I was suffering from injuries that I had to totally stop doing any form of physical activity. This was in 2010.

 Since then, I have been taking hot yoga and also paying visits to a massage therapist - Tim Hackett- who have been working on my muscle imbalances. Every time I would go run, like 1 mile I would be in extreme pain.

As I said in my other posts, 2010 was my first half marathon and with hot yoga at Arrichion and Tim - I was able to complete my first half marathon in 2010.

 Since then I have done more half marathons and even done a Sprint triathlon. It sure looks like things were getting better but I was having personal issues and more injuries and lack of interest in anything I did. I gained back not all my weight back but a significant amount that my once smaller clothes no longer fit and I just did not care anymore.

 Then in 2012 I decided to once again do something of self worth with my life- I asked a friend at work to help me come out with a training plan for me so to enable me to run injury free and not hurt if and when I would do another race. This I did 40 miles/week and I started to feel better about myself at least this part. I was still a total mess with ongoing personal issues but I put that aside. So in 2012 I did my 6th half marathon and I managed to PR my time by 40 mins.

 A triumphant moment for me that I thought I should continue because alas it was something I can do and my only competition was within myself - at least what I thought. Please continue reading the next blog post with most recent happenings for 2013
