In the last 2 years, I've gone from fit to fat, especially in the last 8 months with my Costochondritis . Since February, doctors orders was that I could no longer work out. That is, not until this "thing" was completely gone. So I stopped training with my trainer, Jason, and I let my gym membership expire...and wanted nothing but comfort food (aka. McDooDoo Happy Meals).
BAD GIRL!
It wasn't until mid August that my chest pains were becoming less and less painful. So, I tried going for a run around the neighborhood (come out to about 1 mile)... chest was ok.
I tried it again the next day with my dog... a little discomfort...but not as bad as before.
Since I let my gym membership expire at Evolution AND being so out of shape, I had a plan to get my stamina back up before reinstating my membership.
So here I am, running outside when I can and/or doing workouts off of FitTV. I was doing this for a couple weeks and was starting to drop a little weight and feeling good about myself again!
THEN...
I decide I want to spend some time with my friends baby for the weekend...
BAD IDEA!
Lil Liam had the sniffles.... which for me turned into a fever, sore throat, and congested nose and chest. This lasted over two weeks.... and one of those sick weekends was spent in San Jose for a friends wedding! =/
Then I got Brian sick...so there goes his workout schedule too.
Just as we were getting back in the routine of eating right and working out... I get us sick!
Which means.... COMFORT FOOD & LAZINESS!!!
I wanted to wait till I was 100% better before getting on track again.
So on this Sunday afternoon, I went for a run/walk (mostly walk). I have A LOT of work to do!
In between work and school, I need to make time to do this. I used to participate in 5&10k's around Seattle all the time and want to get back on it. First one I want to train for - AND NOT WALK AT ALL - is the Jingle Bell Run on December 14.
My body is at its worst and I don't want to wait till I get any bigger than I already am! This weight gain has definitely taken a toll on my self-esteem and I don't want to feel this way anymore.
So what better way to make sure I stay on track than to make my goals public right?

I've got 40 lbs to lose in order to get back to when I was at my best physical shape.
Here's to getting back to being fit...and staying there!

No more bad, bad cheating! Just every now and then. Umm, no Jingle Bell Run for me. I'll be waiting for you at the end with sugar free hot chocholit!
