Today was our second run and I still do not really care for it. It is hot and noisy and everything in my body is crying why? why are you doing this to us?
I just think to myself that my body is only mad because I am trying to force it to run with all this extra weight on it. I know it is hard on my poor little body, but it will get over it and with every pound ( or .2 of a pound) that I lose it will be easier to run.
I have to run on a busy street, so I am always imagining the cars driving by and saying "hey look at that fatty" but that is fine because soon enough they will be saying "hey look at that hotty" I am trying really hard not to care about how I look being 50+ pounds over weight out in my too long to be capri pants, but too short to be really pants, and my unflatteringly tight top as I slowly slowly try to "run" ( pretty sure most people walk faster then my running) up the hill. I would say 90% of the time I don't care because:
1 - I know I will never see these people driving by again
2- I am off my but and doing something about my fat A double s
3 - It is only a short time off my life, soon I will just be slightly over weight
But then there is the other 10% of the time when I have to pass people or I am in my neighborhood - I have to live with these people - so yes I will see them again. But at the end of the day I can let my shame and worry about what other people think keep my on the couch eating my super butter popcorn or I can say screw it "I don't want to live like this any more. I want better for my daughter" . I want her to be healthy so I have no right to sit on this couch another night doing nothing to help myself.
So here is to healthy mommies and healthy families : )

Day One - Week One : The First Step is Always the Hardest
Well today was the first day of my journey to 30. And it was hard. No yummy candy, no cookies and worst of all no super butter popcorn this evening. Instead we did the first day of couch to 5k. It was pretty challenging, but we made it through it A - O-K .
I am so grateful to have such a supportive husband. Not only did he come with me on the "run", but he also made us healthy smoothly snacks after.
We also went shopping for some healthy food tonight. I am really hoping that by the 17th I will have a good foundation in place for my count down to 30. I mean how great would it be to start off my 30s looking and feeling better then I did in my 20s. I am not striving for perfection every day, but a steady pace to the end. I do not want to make this a miserable year. I know if I work hard and watch what I eat I will be healthier and slimmer and so much happier.
So here's to the beginning of the end.
PS. I love my family : )

All about ME
I have one year left in my 20s and I going to make the most of it. The past year has been filled with life changes for me. I was married, bought a house, and had a baby. Tons of stress, but more joy then I ever could have imagined. I am really going to have to step it up to make this coming year better then last.
This coming year I am going to be finding my way as a new wife and mother. I know it is going to be challanging trying to discover how I will fit into each of these roles, but I am sure that with effort and patiance it will all come into place.
I will be joining a gym and eating healthy so that I can get in shape and set a good example for my daughter. I want her to be active and healthy. I am so tired of seeing over weight children all over the place.
I will also be pushing myself out of my little hermit shell and getting out there to meet some new people. I have lived in this city for 4 years now and have made very little to no effort at all to meet people. I plan on joining the gym and some community activities with my daughter.
I am committed to eating healthy and watching what chemicals we expose our family to. I strongly believe that many of the allergies and illnesses people are suffering from are do to all the unnatural stuff we expose our bodies to.
In summary I am making a commitment to:
eat healthy
exercise regularly
make new friends
Welcome to my Journey : )
