Day 1

Naturally, I don't honestly think there will be a zombie apocalypse in the near future. I need some kind of motivation, since I've been unable to get my act together on my own so far. Why not combine my love for graphic novels, strong but damaged characters, and my goal to be a healthy, strong, well rounded person. Vampires have been overdone, never really been that into werewolves, but a zombie hunter..hmm..there is something an average person with no super powers can become.

In fact, well written stories of zombie survivors focus more on the dynamics within a group, how people can help each other continue living, and the overall social impacts from the collapse of our materialistic society of convenience.

I plan to document this first year of my journey here - I've no illusion that I will master all the skills I want, or even be able to try them all, but that's part of the point. This is more than just losing weight, its overcoming some demons in my own mind, like self confidence and a tendency to mentally beat myself up. In a way, this reinvention of myself will be like starting a new life, letting go of my bad habits, improving on the good ones.

This, and I, am a work in progress. Send me suggestions, help me stay motivated and hold me accountable!!
