Lights, Camera, Get Fit!

Hey Fellow Bloggers!

If you saw KARK 4 News at Noon Tuesday, It's likely you saw me being introduced by the lovely Tracy Douglass and my trainer Joe Merritt.  Below is a picture taken during the broadcast.

What a ton of emotions right now... to know that for the next 3 months, I'll be experiencing things that for most of my life, I've been scared of.

For all of you following this blog.. my intentions are simple.  To share my experience and in some way, prove for all of you out there, that it's possible to get off that couch and become more physically and mentally strong.

The next few weeks I can tell are going to be one emotional roller coaster!  I, like many, was that kid ridiculed for not being popular... made fun of because I wasn't fit and didn't have all of the girls.

For years, those times in my past have haunted me... to a degree, they still do today.

My hope for this blog and for all watching during our weekly updates on KARK 4 News at Noon, is for someone to gain inspiration from my journey to fitness.. and to gain self confidence to walk into that gym and say, "I'm beautiful no matter the size."

I'd LOVE for you all to leave me comments, suggestions, words of encouragement.. and even your personal stories.  Feel free to follow the blog, comment on anything you'd like, and if you'd like to email me directly, feel free!!  My email is fit4lifejosh@gmail.com.  I'll try my best to reply to all the emails sent!

Throughout the next 3 months, I'll be adding pictures from my daily workouts, tips from my trainer Joe, and my thoughts along this exiting yet nerve-racking journey!

I'm also a huge music buff and love sharing the music that gets me thorough-out the day... and I'll be posting a link to my "song of the day" in all of my updates!  Here's my first song! A good song about how I feel right now.  Standing up and taking a stand to rid of my self-consciousness! !

Wish me luck everyone and hope to hear from you!!!!!
