Let's Get It Started!

"Today is a new day."  I guess I'll start with an inspirational quote from Chicken Little!  I blame my kids! 

Actually, I blame them for quite a bit.

I blame the stain on my brand new carpet on them.  I blame the piles of laundry that never end on them.  I blame my unibrow and need for a haircut (and sometimes just a hot shower) on them.  I also blame being overweight on them!

When Tim and I got married, I weighed 115 pounds.  After having three kids, my weight is nowhere near that number!  Actually, it's closer to.... oh it hurts to say it.... 185 pound! YOWCH! 

Losing weight is hard, that's why I have recruited a weight loss buddy.  Lani and I are starting our weight loss journey together with the Couch to 5k program.  Today is day one.  I haven't completed the workout yet, but once the kids go to bed, it's go time!  I hope to keep track of my weight loss on here that way I can be held accountable.  I also plan on taking one photo of myself each week so that I can see progress or regression. 


My ultimate goal is to get healthy and complete a full marathon.  The first target, of course being the 5k, should be completed in 9 weeks.  I hope to be marathon ready by this summer.  That gives me 25-30 weeks to reach my goal of 26.2 miles!

On your mark, set......
