I've decided....

.....that it's time for me to work on this blog a little. So, I'm going to start taking pictures of food, me, and basically anything related to weight loss that I find works for me. That being said, I've finally reached another milestone. I've weighed 195 F-O-R-E-V-E-R, so I was pretty excited when I got on the scale this morning and weighed in at 193! Yesssss! I've been doing a point system with a bunch of people for about 5 weeks now and I LOVE IT!!!!! It totally helps me to be accountable and I love the competition. I still haven't gotten 1st place, but I've been in 2nd place a few times. I'm hoping this week will be my winning week! Anyway, just wanted to let you all know (whoever you are that reads this blog) that this blog will be brightening up with some pictures! And one last thing: I LOVE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES!

New for me...

Started training for a 5k today! I did 3.1 miles and here's the best part: I ran a total of 2 miles and ran 1 mile without stopping. I even felt like I could keep going! I felt so good and I'm so proud of myself. I haven't been able to run like that for at least 6 years (since college). What's even better, is it feels so good to tell my hubby how well I did. I would love to be able to go running with my hubby someday! Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!!!! so excited for tomorrow's run!

5K journey!

So, last week our family ran/walked in the elementary 1 mile fun run. I was only able to run the first lap, then had to walk the other 4! I was so embarrassed, hence the beginning of my new journey. I'm setting out to be able to run a 5K by the end of the summer. I'm so excited that my hubby is out of school, which means I can now get up at a decent time, not 5:30, and go running. I'm starting slow. Yesterday was day 1; I ran a lap, walked a lap for 3 miles. My legs are very sore today, but my hubby keeps telling me it will get easier. He should know, he's been down this road before. The road of getting in shape and learning how to run long distance. I'm so glad I have his support. Wish me luck, by the end of the summer, I'll be able to run the full 3.2 miles!
