Going Public

I'm excited about inviting some friends to join this blog. It already has motivated me to continue on in my goals and keep exercising. One thing I wanted to point out about this blog - if you noticed, the address for this site is "notmaybe." This is because, this time around, I will not MAYBE stick to my plan. I WILL do it. I've started too many times and quit too many times. I know this thinking can be dangeous; I know that it is not my resolve and determination alone that will get the job done. If left to my own devices, I KNOW that I would most certainly subtley drop these healthy habits and find myself frustrated and very unhealthy in probably only a few months. Even now, I don't have a lot of confidence in myself to stay on the narrow road. But, I know that God will continue to be faithful to me; I just have to take it one day at a time.

I know that my posts might sound serious and all "this is war" talk. I think it's safe to say that, by far, I have the most weight to lose and ground to regain. Most of you are just trying to lose some extra baby pounds that are lingering. So, just use this blog to accomplish your own goals and maybe help some of us continue working towards ours.

Note: I'd also encourage you not to worry about putting as much time into this blog as your own personal blogs. Let's not worry about posting pictures too much (you can post a "before" picture if you're trying to lose weight). Just treat this as a journal - that others' will read and comment on, all for your encouragement and benefit of course! Check in every few days (or every day if you want) to post your progress and any thoughts/ideas you have.

Blessings to you, my friends.
