Back after a long hiatus...

Wow - that was a long break from the blog!  Guess it's going to take a few attempts to really build this into a habit.

The big fitness-related news this year is that I've signed up again for the B.A.A. Half Marathon!  When I attempted the race in 2011 I didn't train correctly, and subsequently I hobbled through the course.  I really messed up my IT band and couldn't walk without intense pain for about a month.

This time I'm taking training seriously.  Today was my first day; only one mile, but it's a start!

I'm also signed up for a Nerd Fitness 6-Week Challenge, and I've given myself a point-based system to track my progress.  That post is located here.

Other new updates since the last time I posted...

• Rich and I bought a house in Jamaica Plain!
• I got a promotion at work to a Director position!
• I've gained a ton of stress weight :-P

To curb my out-of-control eating, I have signed up for Weight Watchers.  I'm still trying to get good about posting all of the food I eat every day, but I'm getting there.  The next step is to start planning my food ahead, as opposed to just tracking whatever food I put in my mouth and shrugging when I reach my points limit.

Wish me luck on this reboot of my fitness journey!
