as previously stated, i moved from oklahoma to california.
two. different. worlds.
i have since decided that there are at least two things that are seriously determined by geography: religion and lifestyle. not quite clear enough? when asked what oklahoma is like, my response is always this: "there's a church and two fast food joints on every street corner."
therefore, a little bit, i was raised to be a chubby church-goin' Jesus freak.
don't get me wrong, i have an amazing family and i am forever grateful for my upbringing. and i really do love Jesus (more on this later).
but it's no wonder that my new life here in the bay area has brought about a season of crazy change. lots of good, and yes, a little bad (but that's more in the Jesus department than lifestyle).
since i've been here, i've fallen in love with the mountains and the ocean and the redwoods and the trails. and it was this newfound affection, which moved me toward improvement. i was no longer content to be the girl who avoided physical activity, for fear of not being able to keep up. the fear itself is what held me down. so about 14 months ago, i joined the gym with my dear friend, sarah.
and i never looked back.
