Improvement

I am actually making some progress! I have been working out as best as I can wearing chacos since I still can't wear tennis shoes. I have been slowly eliminating desserts and sugary foods from my diet and trying to consciously add in healthier foods. It's still not perfect, but I am finally making progress toward being healthier and I hope to continue in this direction! We'll see how it goes this week!

After licking my ice cream bowl clean....

It's time to get a handle on myself! So, I'll admit, I haven't wanted to return to this blog because I know how terribly I've been eating, and I haven't wanted to admit it. I did actually start working out again until I hurt my toe and had another excuse to stop. Well, my toe isn't healed completely yet, but I think I can work out anyway. I went to the doctor today and was not impressed with my weight. My clothes don't fit me, my thighs rub together when I walk, and my whole body jiggles all the time. Something has got to change...for real this time. A new month has started and it's time to get serious if I'm going to reach my weight loss goals. I now have one month to lose 10 pounds by October 1st. So here we go.....

I'm going to start training for a triathalon with some friends in March, but I've got to do a little pre-training training if you know what I mean. SO I found the perfect program for me - "From the Couch to the Sprint" - a running program to get you started for training for a triathalon. If I can accomplish this training and then actually accompish a triathalon I will feel awesome! I really hope to do this and lose this weight in the process. I have realized that I can't do one or the other as far as eating well and exercising go. I have to do both to keep myself motivated in both areas and I have no more excuses. So, starting tomorrow, I will work out and eat well...let's see how it goes!

SO if you stop by my blog, leave me a message and keep me motivated and hold me accountable if you don't hear back from me each day! Any motivation/encouragement/tip is always welcome!
