For Good

So I've noticed that I'm bad with motivation and sticking with something for long enough....like writing on this blog.....however, losing weight is probably one of the few things in my life that I have actually stuck with and, HA I never in a million years thought I would say this but, ENJOY! I know people say it's about changing a lifestyle and they could never be more right!

So here's where I need to catch you guys up to speed with what I've been doing, OMG this is so exciting and I can't wait to tell you all....you know there should be a way for me to see your faces! That would be even better...okay Anndee, focus! I'm down to 218! My goal was to be 215 by the end of March, but Easter happened... I was very bad at weighing myself before I got married (I knew I was fat but didn't want to admit it ) but with the way that I'm feeling and with the clothes I can fit into, I'm pretty sure that I weigh about the same as when we got married. I'll take it for now, but just you wait summer....my husband and I are determined to go running this summer on the trails; I'll be in a sports bra and shorts and he won't have on his shirt...yup....that's it folks!

Along with the dream, I've actually joined a running group! Most of you that know me really well know that I DON'T RUN! It's actually kind of interesting, my mother was an amazing track star/athlete in high school. My mother always told me that I was built like her and had her athletic genes but I just didn't know what to do with them. Back to the running group, we run every Monday and you run as far as you want, they have 3, 4 and 5 mile marks that you run and you just go! I instead did running for 3 mins and walking for 1 minute for 30 minutes...I was told my average pace was 12. I was pretty proud of myself for my first time really running. I think if I keep up with it, I'll be able to actually run without walking!

I mentioned before that my lifestyle has changed. Since I've been sticking with working out and not really flaking on it, I've noticed that I haven't been so flakey in other areas of my life, like cleaning....I'm one of the most messiest people on the face of the earth, I swear! But I've noticed that with working out, eating non processed foods, and drinking lots of water, I have more energy than I had before so I can do more things when I get home...granted there are days where I feel like doing nothing when I get home, but I know that if I don't do it, it's not going to get done.

I can't be more excited with this decision that I've made to change a lifestyle that it has been done for good! No going back! and that feels really, really, good!
