Big Step

best thread EVER

It's like me in the third grade to win the spelling bee, I couldn't get a damn letter out of my mouth.

Just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention. I typed in the subject hit enter and..........I don't know what I did wrong.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.
I will now introduce myself. I am taking the "big step" to begin the rest of my life. I recently turned 30, I am a single mother of a 9 year old, I use to be an athlete (like 10 to 15 years ago) and now I am out of shape, really out of shape, and miserable. I just became a certified massage therapist and am on my way to an active lifestyle. I have no idea how to get started so I decided to really go all out and do this. THe Chicago triathlon is in August so I figured I better start now. I hope to be around until then.

Welcome! You have taken the right first step. There are a lot great people on here willing to share some great information. They sure have helped me.

Keep focused. Don't get frustrated when you miss a day here and there. Just get back at it.

Enjoy!

Yes you Can Do It.

It is all about balance in training and balance in life. Taking care of yourself is one of the best things you can do for you and your child.

Enjoy the journey!

I swear everyone in here is a professional motivator. I love it!
Thanks everyone. I go for my first walk/run tonight. And I am going to have someone help me pull out the old eliptical machine which has been used like twice.

Welcome!!!! You might want to take a look at the Chicago Triathlon Club!!! I just joined this past August and make my debut in Tri this spring!!

Thanks. It looks like a great club. I think I may join. I really like the site. Maybe I'll see you.
