Why Balance and Moderation? Why not name your blog something to do with Running and Weight Loss?
First of all I have a totally addictive personality. I go all out on everything I do. Some people would consider this a blessing, and it is...to a point. One of the reasons I run is to find a small amount of Balance and Moderation in my life - running forces you to be that way. My body will not allow me to run any further when I have over done it. If I hit the right formula of workouts, I am more successful compared to when I push too hard.
In order to be successful at losing weight and keeping it off, I have to also find that "sweet spot", where I am happy with what I am eating and the amount that I am eating. If I fall too far on either end of the spectrum, I will gain weight or just yo-yo. I am not trying to lose weight temporarily, I am not looking for a quick fix. I am trying to change me. I am trying to find some Balance and Moderation in my life.
Thus Balance and Moderation is key to the success of my running, weight loss, and health goals.
