I tell you, I have been sooooo very tired of feeling like a fat lump of lard for a while now, but I just haven't been motivated to do anything about it.
I've decided to make the change. While I was working at David's Bridal, I ended up losing about 6lbs just by getting my ass up and moving. That was the push I needed in the right direction.
I looked up the Run for Your Lives 5k and saw it was coming up in June in CO. I want to do it! Of course I am in no shape to run a 5k......yet.
I downloaded a few apps (c25k, Nike+, and rockmyrun) and set out on Monday 3/11/13. Today was my second interval run, and it wasn't bad. 1.84 miles in 30 minutes. I know I can do better, and I will! I am really excited about this zombie run and have wanted to do it for a couple of years now. I WILL do this!
On top of my running/walking, I am also watching my calories. I downloaded an app for that too LOL. Lose It! is pretty sweet. It has a barcode scanner so now I don't have to search or input my own foods.
Since Monday I have lost 1lb total, not bad for 3 days. Overall, that puts me at 7lbs lost in the last couple of months. Woot, woot!
I just have to stick with it, and I will!
