The beginning!

My name is Maureen and I am a 21 yr-old college senior!  Whoop!!  I've been active and in sports my entire life, but about 3 years ago after I quit collegiate soccer I fell head over heels in love with running.  I loved lacing up my running shoes and hitting the pavement more than anything in the world.  Well, three years later and 3 marathons and 1 half marathon later I still love running.  This year is also when it hit me, mostly because I realized I'll be in the real world before I know it, that I want to be a personal trainer.

So once I graduate I plan on getting my personal training certification because I want to share my passion for a healthy lifestyle with others.  I would really love to be a trainer for college athletes.  But I know my journey towards that goal needs to start now.  I have always been active, so I'm not by any means over weight, but I want to make my body the best it can be, so starting tomorrow I'm doing a major cleanse on my diet and eating and clean as I can.

I hope you follow me through my journey of which I know will be tough and I'll want to quit or cheat, but I'll have to stay disciplined.  I'll be updating with what I'm eating, my workouts, and how I'm feeling that day about everything because I'm not only trying to live healthier, but I'm trying to do it while going to school full-time, working 2 part-time jobs, and training for The Omaha Half-Marathon and Chicago Marathon!

Til next time and one step closer to a hardbody,
