WELCOME

Hello and Thank you to anyone who is taking time out of their day to read my blog. I am so excited to share a part of my life with you and I hope along the way you will gain something from this experience as well.

Let me start by saying in 2012 I will be in London competing for my country in the Olympic Games--well, at least that's my plan. It's gonig to take a lot of hard work to get there, but I plan to give everything I have to achieve my goal.

Presently, I'm entering my senior season as a collegiate shot putter/discus thrower. I spent most of last year on the outside looking in; this year I'm going to be the main attraction. By the end of this season I will be an NCAA champion.

I think I got a little comfortable last year and didn't reach my full potential, which is why I created this blog, so I can be accountable to myself and everyone who supports and encourages me. I will be blogging about my last year as a NCAA thrower and my journey to the 2012 Olympic Trials.

I titled this blog "Mark" because that's the one word I want to hear when I finish a throw. If I have the best throw of my life, it means nothing if the red flag goes up.

With all that said, let the journey begin!!!

If the camera adds 10lbs, how much will this barbeque add??? The 20 pound challenge!!!!!!

Since I started college I've put on close 25 pounds and Mike, my coach, has been telling me to diet and try to get my weight down, but my eating habits are so bad I've pretty much given up hope. I have a small addiction to fries and from time to time I like to enjoy a honey bun or 12. And since it's the summer time, we bbq every other day and today is no different. My boyfriend, LeBronte bka "Burger," and I are going to his parents' house in few to put some meat on the grill--this is probably one of the healthiest meals I'm going to eat. Yesteday I had a burger and fries from Checker's for lunch and chicken nuggets from Mc Donalds for dinner--good eating I know. I guess the reason I can't get this diet thing down is because I don't really care. I don't have body image issues and the girls I compete against are no light-weights. I'm not gonna lie, I could stand to do a few crunches. Seriously though, starting next week (I say next week cuz I'm going on a mini vacation this week)I'm going to start eating right so I can be healthier me and maybe lose some of this baby-weight I've been claiming for five years. Stay posted cuz I'm going to posting photos and updates of my progress. Let's see if I can drop 20 pounds.

    Disclaimer: Mike would like it noted that he simply suggested that I clean up my diet, not that I diet. Same difference, but for his sanity I'll go ahead a make this note.
