This is as close to a celebratory kickoff party as we're gonna get - Blogging about the fact I should be running around the house screaming "It's here!" But. I'm not running around the house with my arms flailing in excitement. I didn't do EVERYTHING I had hoped to accomplish on the big Day 1. But I'm blogging. That's good. I'm being honest. That's good too. And of course I'm going to put my mind at rest with some empathetic self-talk. "Ease into change. Drastic change only causes a greater margin for error." There. I feel better.
Pardon some personal notes for a moment. I'm not a procrastinator, but I am most certainly, and always have been, deadline-driven (a more politically correct term for procrastination, don't be fooled.) This Project isn't just about eating right and being a productive Tasmanian Devil 18 out of 24 hours a day. It's about just living fuller. Enjoying more. Worrying less. Being thankful for what I have. Inspiring myself and maybe another along the way. And tracking progress. This blog isn't developed yet. I don't know what it will be when it grows up, but what matters is that I promised myself I would do it, and I'm sick of letting myself down. I'm the queen of "there's always tomorrow." But. Tomorrow is here, and today's tomorrow is no guarantee.

So let's live. Let's not waste time. It's finally time for me to start living the life I've imagined.
