Moving Forward with Life

When I posted my first post regarding weight and how I'm not as happy with myself... something hit me while I was writing it. I realized that I'm the only one that can change that. I had to do this report for Donny's mom and write down everything I was eating for a whole week. By the middle of it I was freaking out realizing that I really dont' eat very good, and I don't realize what I was putting in my mouth and when. I totally changed by the end of the week by drinking more water and no after dinner snacks. That next weekend I got my sisters treadmill and a way I went. Lara and I have suggested that we are going to run a half maraton together and that we need to train for the coming year. I thought this was a good idea for the fact that this was the GOAL instead of LOOSING weight.. and focusing on that. I have done very well... I can now run a full mile straight.. which is HARD!! It has made my ankles and legs VERY sore which is causing me some nights not able to run. That really frustrates me b/c than I feel like I'm slacking. This weekend was hard to b/c we worked on the house all weekend which made me tired, and by not doing my regular run.. I felt again I was slacking. I am thinking even if it hurts .. I need to at least walk/fast walk for 30 minutes at least to get my heart rate up.

I like how this has started to change my life in a postive way.. I feel like i'm coming back to earth.. and feel better about going out, and my clothes. Its nice that people around me are doing the same thing b/c now I got donny's mom eating healthy again with me... and with Lara!! Its nice to have a TEAM .. b/c they won't let you down, and they keep you going, and we support one another.

I know christmas is coming and that is hardest time to get through but when I'm off the two weeks I have no excuse but to work out!! I'm excited.. :)

Peace
