Resurrection

It's time to resurrect this blog.  In the past, I've been a little harsh with this blog.  I consider it the "black sheep" of my social media.  Facebook is my way to keep connected to (at some point in my life) real-life friends and family. Instagram appeals to me because a picture is worth one thousand words; plus, I could go back and pour over old photos for hours at a time.  Signs of Life: The Brownie Chronicles is a fun blog to keep track of the boys' and our entire family's journey since beginning the adoption process.

Then there is the "Running Toward Freedom" blog.  Ugh.  I've started and stopped this blog over and over again for years.  I've left it unwritten for months at a time.  I've opened the "new post" page, staring at the blank page, only to shut the computer, unable to sort out what I want to post.

Three weeks ago, I started, yet again, for the umpteenth time, working out, logging my food on the My Plate app, and have lost 8 pounds: 5 the first week, 2 the second, and 1 this week.

Yoga is a practice I've fallen in love with over the past three weeks.  I also tried Zumba for the first time.  That's certainly a fun way to keep up my heart rate for an hour!  Yoga is what I most look forward to doing.  My favorite is Hot Vinyasa Yoga.

Because of this "resurrection" of my road to fitness, I decided to also resurrect my blog.  So here goes...the good, the bad, and the sweaty.
