I should start by saying that I feel woefully unprepared for this, but everyone has to start somewhere. I’ve been reading health and fitness blogs for as long as I can remember, and have always dreamed of starting one myself. I’m being completely honest when I say that I don’t expect for this site to generate many views. That’s okay. I truly mean it when I say that I’m doing this for me, and if even one person out there can relate to my story and gain something from seeing it expressed on the page, all the better.
As I write this, I’m 29 years old. Obviously, that’s not old. But don’t you sometimes feel like you struggle with things that you should have gotten over by adolescence? Maybe we all struggle with finding our identity, especially as the world and our lives around us change.
Growing up, I identified strongly as a tomboy. I played almost every sport. Although I was a runt, I wanted to be seen as tough and strong. In high school, I began embracing my feminine side, in terms of physical appearance. Nevertheless, I strongly identified with my tough athletic side and had a fierce argumentative debating side to me, also. Over time, I’ve lost a good deal of that edge. Nevertheless, I became a lawyer.
Now, I find myself a gentler, more feminine, but still athletic attorney trying to navigate my way through the boys’ club of corporate transactional law.
All in all, my life has been pretty great. It would be crazy for me to complain. But like most of you, I have my own struggles and challenges that I don’t typically share with the world, and I’m not sure why.
This blog is my journal of navigating the world I love of health and fitness while trying to juggle work as a busy attorney, health conditions, and family struggles. I hope you find some value in it.
