Hello my blogging friends! I apologize for the lapse in updating. Working has really taken a huge chunk out of my time and I barely have time to check my email anymore! This past week I made a decision for myself. Instead of the usual "I need to lose weight!" exclamation, I decided I would make a "smaller" goal for myself. I've decided to start running. So much so that I decided to have a goal at the end. December 5th, I'll be running the 5K Jingle Bell run for Arthritis in Waco! To help me with this endeavor I've started using the Couch to 5K program. This program is all over the net and basically eases you into running with a 9-week course. The objective is to condition your body to run using intervals of running/walking. I started last week but suffered a bout of the Flu AND the stomach flu all in one week. I decided to start over this week as week one. I cannot tell you how excited I am to come home and run in the evening! (can't say I've ever felt like THAT before). Although I'm not specifically trying to lose weight but let's face it, we all are. I will be posting my progress weekly as well as my stats for weight and measurements. This is a very humbling exercise because it forces me to tell the world (literally) my measurements and show pictures. If anything, it's also a way to somehow encourage someone else to do the same thing. So here goes the stats (Eek, I can't believe I'm really about to do this!).
Week One
Weight- 153
Hips- 40.5'
Thighs- 24.5'
Belly- 35'
