This is just the beginning

So for those of you who don't know, my biggest personal goal in coming to Korea to teach was to get away from bad eating habits and to lose literally 100lbs during my year here in South Korea. I wanted to create my own Biggest Loser environment.

This first two months I was here I lost 30 lbs just because of the change in my diet and all the walking around I do here. But, in everything that has happened in the past two weeks, I have decided to re-evaluate why I came here to Korea and what I was doing to make my goal take place.

I realized quickly that I wasn't even putting that much effort into it, and if I was serious about my goal I needed to take some drastic measures.

So I did it....

I JOINED A GYM! Not only that, but I am paying for a Korean personal trainer who even after just one day is already kicking my butt during our one hour sessions. So, I'm being very faithful to all of this. He even put me on a Korean diet. Which so far I have followed to the "T" I must say.

So, I will be using this blog now to also update family and friends on my progress.

The other exciting thing that happened is I bought a digital camera. So, hopefully sometime in the next few days you can check for pictures on here of my apartment, my neighborhood, and my school and students.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Drink water, eat tomatoes, and enjoy the kiwi!
