Inked

I've been wanting a tattoo for a really long time. But since it's something that is permanent, I wanted it to be something that meant a lot to me. I went from wanting a Gemini symbol to a design of the sun & sea (for my name). But there wasn't anything that really got my attention. I then decided that I wanted some sort of phrase on my left wrist. I had a phrase that I saw in a book and liked it. It said "a full life... no regrets". I like the meaning behind it but then I thought it would be too cluttered.

At the end of July, I went to the 5k Do Life event in San Francisco. That day was a a day of firsts for me as I mentioned in that post. I feel like that day I really started to "do life". I've struggled with my weight all my life and now I am working towards getting healthier. I've been losing weight since September 2010 and have been successful at it so far. I still have a lot more weight to lose. Ever since the Do Life event, I've made getting healthy my priority. I wanted something to remind me of how I felt during & after participating in the 5k. Something to remind me that I am worth it and to keep on going.

I found it.
