What is today?

It's my birthday!!!!

So far we have gone to the mall and library with friends and got starbucks! Don't know what to do later though.

I DID IT!!!

I did my first 5k! It took me 55 minutes and 36 seconds.

Not a great time, but I'm so happy that I finished and got under 1 hour!

I Suck!

I know, I totally suck. Crazy's sleeping has really SUCKED! And the in-laws are here, great.

The countdown has really begun, 2 weeks until the 5k!!!

Day 13

It was very rainy the past couple days, so I didn't get up. But today I went for a 3 mile walk, it was very good!

Day 12

I didn't get up, I couldn't even keep my eyes open this morning when my alarm went off. Crazy woke up in the middle of the night and I had a hard time getting back to sleep.

My legs hurt last night, we went on a bike ride yesterday, almost 2 miles. It was nice, got to see some of the Halloween decorations we don't usually drive by.

Day 11

I got up, and got my butt moving today! I did a walking loop and a full jogging loop (in the past I have started a little bit down the road from my house and ended at my house, so it was a little less then .5 but today it was the full thing!).

Also we have taken a little walk already and might go for a bike ride later. The weather is so nice! 70's in October, crazy!!!

Day 10

We were in NH this weekend, I didn't do anything.

This morning I didn't get up. But Crazy had me running all over the park today, does that count?

Also I didn't weigh myself, I will do it tomorrow.

Day 9

I didn't get up, but I think Crazy and I will go for a bike ride later.

Day 8

I got up and did the same loop as yesterday, just a tad less jogging. I used the gps, it's a .5 mile loop. So that means I walk .5 then jog (just under) .5 miles.

I originally didn't want to jog anywhere but the park, because I didn't want people to see me. But I don't care what they think. At least I'm out there and doing something! Also there isn't much activity on our street at 7:30 in the morning.

Day 7

I got up and decided that I wouldn't go to the park this morning. Instead I walked around the block and then did another lap, jogging. It is a much bigger loop then the park, so I did further and ever. I will gps it tomorrow.

51 days until the 5k!

Day 6

Didn't get up, not alot of sleep last night.

Also I gained weight, that takes talent!

Day 5

Hello! It was a beautiful morning today. The sun was shining and it was cool! Thank goodness that humidity is gone.

Well today I set the GPS and used RunKeeper to see what I had done. It was a little deflating. I was moving for 12 minutes (from car back to car) and it was only .68 miles. How the hell am I going to do 3+ miles on Thankgiving!

I just need to get to the end, I don't need to be the fastest or kill myself doing it, I just need to get out there!!!

Day 4

I got up this morning (got my free coffee on the way) and got the park on this rainy day. When I got there I saw another person and not wanting to cross paths, because I didn't want to say hi, I started out jogging instead of running.

I basically just said, screw it, lets jog and see how far I can get. Well I made it all the way around! Then I walked a bit (caught my breath) then jogged a bit more, got a cramp and then walked the rest and back to the car. I was quite proud of myself!

56 Days until my first 5k!

Day 3

I didn't get up again, I slept terribly last night. I either have alleries that Claritin won't touch or a cold. But I have already told Dave that I'm getting up tomorrow so I will.

Also, there is free coffee at 7 eleven, so that will be an big motivation!

Day 2

I suck, I didn't get up today, on day 2! Crazy was wake for an hour in the middle of the night. Then I had to drop him off with a friend to go to a funeral. It was for a baby, I can't imagine their pain.

I will do something tomorrow!

Day 1

Today I got up at 7:15. I didn't sleep well, I'm getting a cold. I got to the park, it's called Diamonds in the Pines and began walking. There is a loop around a big football/soccer/anything you could think of field. I wasn't the only one out, there was another couple who were walking.
Anyway, I started by walking. I walked the long ends and jogged the short ends, and I went around twice. It took be about 12 minutes.  I feel good. Didn't take me to long to recover so I'm happy about that. I think I will do the same pattern for about a week, then switch to jogging the long ends and walking the short ends.

I am doing a 5k on Thanksgiving Day. I've been planning to do it since last year when Dave (my husband) and Mary (my sister) did it.

Weight: 300.2 lbs

Today is the day!

Ok, Monday is actually the day but today I am starting this.

Here is the plan:

Don't hold anything back on this blog.
Exercise in the morning.
Advertise my weight weekly.
Eat well.
Let myself ramble and "get it out", I think this will help.
