Sometimes, it is better to wipe the slate clean....

I know it has been awhile, since I wrote anything here. I guess I was to a point that I did not think I had anything worthwhile to write. Well not that I think that many things have changed, but I know it is time to get back to it again. Like my title says, sometimes it is better to wipe the slate clean and start again. I have learned though, that although that is possible in my spiritual life because of the love, forgiveness and mercy of God, it is better to look black and learn from my mistakes in my personal life; and then move forward.

The last year and a half of my life have been filled with turmoil, challenges, heart breaks and many blessings indeed. About a year ago, I was unemployed , in a deaconate program that only caused me uneasiness and anxiety. And I had regained the weight I had, had such a hard time to lose. Because of everything I had stopped training and even walking. I had no time for anything. It has been a year now that, I got a great job, which makes me happy to go to everyday, and last November I left the deaconate program which also lessen my anxiety and brought me to a better emotional and spiritual state. Let's just say that it was not the right "fit" for me.

I was still fat, unhealthy and not thinking that I would be able to walk much anymore. Well that was until the end of the year, when I saw Marcela was looking for a new coaching team in Coral Springs training for a half marathon in March. I started at the beginning of January to train in Coral Springs. I was still overweight, but I had started to live and eat the paleo lifestyle. Well I faithfully trained not for speed but for endurance. I did finish the training and completed the half marathon. That was my new start, the time for that race was my new PR, because anything I did years ago really doesn't count right now. During the process, I signed up for the NYC marathon lottery, and guess what I got in.

So your guess is right, now start my blogs on my training for this marathon in November. I am 45 pounds lighter then I was in January and a lot healthier and happier. There will be another post soon as I start my training and my visit to the doctor to tell me how healthy or not that I am.

Hope to see you here soon.....
