Opening Ceremonies...

Okay. Lets get this thing started...

I am 28 years old, recently married, bought a house, go to school, work full time and love this amazing crazy thing that is called "life".

I am 200+ pounds, not very tall, and love every single curve on my body. I am serious, from my "thunder thighs" to my 42DD (not kidding, at all), I have learned over the years not to curse the curves. Embrace them, cherish them, and feel good. NOT AN EASY THING TO DO, I'll admit.

 It is so much harder to do, but what makes it so much fun is how loving your body pisses a lot of people off. My favorite statements include, "Yes, I am eating this piece of cake without counting calories" or  "No, I don't believe in dieting cause it is all a load of crap" and the list will go on but I digress.

My point is people don't understand that you can be a size 18/20 and be genuinely happy. Being apart of a society that strives for skinny and advertises it as healthy can be confusing.

So I am starting this blog to show that working out for the ENJOYMENT of working out, not counting the calories or stressing out about vanity pounds, is what is important.

I should mention, I used to run Cross Country in high school. 10 years ago. You can imagine that my body has changed a bit since then. I was never a very good runner then, and I sure as hell am not one now. However, recently I have been doing kick-boxing at 6 am (and there will be more on this later), and I realized how much a missed sucking at running...why not also add that in the mix as well.

I have no goals other than not passing out or throwing up after a run. This is NOT a weight-loss story, and I certainly am not being paid. I will tell everything from supportive bras for a us well-endowed women, to shoes, to eateries and recipes.
I am a big boobed woman who is trying to run...let the journey begin!
