Day 1

The moment of truth: 

My weight and measurements starting out. 

Chest: 36 inches
Waist: 29 inches
Hips 37.5 inches
Weight: 134 lbs

Today I managed to actually wake up and get a work out done.  Day 1 I can usually manage.  I'm still motivated.  Most of the time I can make it 1-2 weeks before I fall off the wagon. 

Today's workout was a kettlebell work out and I'm already feeling a little sore.  I used a 10lb kettlebell for the work out.

This is the site I used for the work out.  I liked it pretty well so I'm try to stick with this one for a while.  As always the work out was followed by stretching and an ice pack.  I can already feel the tightness in my back.  The real test to see if I can stick with it will be how painful my back is tomorrow.

I'm sure everyone knows what Fitbit is and the line of fitness products they offer.  ( www.fitbit.com )  Through a health program at work, I received a free one about 6 months ago.  Unfortunately, I lost it after a short time.  Then I started having knee problems so I never purchased a new one....

Depression and Asking for Help

Depression is one of the most well known mental disorders.  If I walked out into the streets and asked someone what depression is I'm sure I would get a many varied responses.  Some of them would be accurate and some of them would not be, but everyone I asked would know the word.  According to the National Institute of Mental Health , 6.7% of adults in the US suffered from depression in 2016.  The World Health Organization (WHO) states that "globally more than 300 million people of all ages suffer from depression."  Also according to WHO, "Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease." Despite this information many people still suffer in silence.  There are many reasons why people do not reach out when they are in need, but most are associated with shame and the stigma of the disease.  This silence needs to be broken.  Those who suffer with depression and other mental ...
