So I've got a bit of a back story for you. It all started last year. I was making friends through blogger and decided to do a 5k with them. It was the first time we would meet! I told myself I had a LOT of work to do to be prepared in the slightest for this 5k. It was the Color Run after all!
I had eight months to get myself somewhat in a state of confidence to be able to complete a real 5k. My ass has not ever been to a gym, never had a membership to a gym, or even been on a treadmill other than playing on one as a kid.
I committed and I also had a friend on board so that we could do this together! We decided that we'd try to work out 4 days a week and be motivators for each other. It worked out great! We met up after work and we would walk a mile or two and then go inside for weight training. It was awesome! sometimes we would only meet up twice a week.
I had battled temptations and I was winning! I lost right at 18 pounds! I was so proud of myself! November came around and I went to Charlotte, NC to meet four girls that I had met online. These girls were incredible! They never once judged me and they welcomed me with open arms! I had such a great time walking and running while getting colored power thrown at us. It was the most fun I had in a long time! And to think I barely knew these girls!
So fast forward five months later and I've gained almost all of that weight I lost back. (all but 3lbs) Insert angry face here. It's no ones fault but my own. I've let myself down once again. I lost my mojo. I have not been this unhappy with my body in a long time. If I don't do something soon, it could be bad.
So, today, I've set goals. Goals that are easy enough to be obtainable but enough of a challenge to not be boring. I'm giving myself 90 days to lose at least 20 pounds. So here we go- Let's get this party started!
