Legally Fit — Finding My Passion Project

Full disclosure . . . Legally Fit did not begin because I wanted to share my story.  In fact, I never wanted to do that.  Looking back on where I let my body get to was not something I enjoyed thinking about, and I rarely if ever spent time reflecting on it.  Those were not my happiest times, and even now as I write about my story here each week, reliving many of those moments brings back memories of embarrassment and shame.

The blog began simply because of my passion for fitness.  That’s what I wanted to share.  Over the past 11 years on this journey, I’ve learned so much while taking on many new activities and challenges, and I love everything about it.  But given that I am not a certified personal trainer or a professional athlete, I realized that the perspective I bring is one that must involve my story.  I am a lawyer who has learned the value of incorporating fitness into my busy schedule, and my life was forever changed by that lesson.
