Hello WordPress!  I’ve decided it’s time to start blogging again, but neither of my previous blogs seemed to fit the bill.

I wanted to be a bit more accountable about dieting and exercise, but my previous blogs are more about recipe experimentation and racing triathlons.  I haven’t been cooking all that much, and my current exercise goals are fat loss rather than tri training.  So I figured it might be time for a fresh start with a new blog!

If I get back into tri training or trying out new recipes, I’ll definitely make sure to post in the old blogs!  But this one will be more free-form, and I plan to use it to keep myself a bit more accountable.  I left the title of the blog pretty general since I may also go a bit more off-topic in this blog while I figure out what exactly I want to get out of my blogging!

In the spirit of starting fresh, I also decided I’d give WordPress a whirl.  Both my previous blogs (as well as a few other group blogs I’m a part of) are on Blogger.  I figured I’d try out a new platform and see if I like it!

I named my blog “riversmiles”, a play on River’s Miles and River Smiles. . . I’d like the theme to focus on my (happy?) journey through life.  River Smiles for Miles?  This hopefully will also serve as a reminder to myself to enjoy the journey instead of always be focusing on the end result.  This blog will help with that, if I remember to stop and write about the steps along the way!
