marathon, here I come!

So, I signed up for the marathon yesterday. The marathon is April 10th, a little less than 3 months away and its 5k, which is only 3.1 miles... which is what I told myself before I went walking today for the first time. OMG, I think my legs are going to fall off! Only walked 1/2 mile in 10 minutes, but my calves feel horrible! Can't breath. :(

Well, short blog... just wanted to write down how awful I feel today so that in a couple months I see how far I've come :)

week 2

We decided at work to postpone the Biggest Loser competition b/c only 4 people were interested. We're going to try again next month and maybe add a prize from the company. I'm not going to sit around a 'bulk up' for the next few weeks though. My health and life are more important. I weighed myself again Monday and I've already lost 4.6lbs!!! Partly due to an upset tummy this weekend, but hey, I'll take it. Going to start walking w/a least one other co-worker tomorrow at lunch. Feels so good to actually working towards this goal!!

Other than that, I've caught myself smiling more! The depression is losing its grip :)

start of the weight loss

It's been awhile, I know. The depression has lessened, a lot. Thank God for Zoloft!! No, really. I kept fighting that pill and thought if I was just a good enough Christian, my mood would change. But considering that I'm on over 20 pills a day... a chemical imbalance was defiantly a factor.

Anyway, I thought I'd take an attempt at blogging my way through some weight loss. I believe if I lost weight, I could get off a bunch of those 20 pills! We started a Biggest Loser competition today at work too... so now there's some money on the line!

Starting weight... OMG, can't believe I'm actually going to put this out there... 220.0. Yuck!! I've been heavier though. My goal? 190 - that's 2.5lbs per week before the Biggest Loser ends on March 31st. 13.6%. I'd like to then be under 160 by the end of the year. Possible??? Of course. With God's strength!! Plus the encouragement of friends and family.

My difficulties will be from the MS and the PCOS. MS makes me tired and PCOS just messes with hormones and metabolism so much. But, I can overcome!!

I'm also thinking about signing up for a marathon. Only the 5k one though, that's only 3.1 miles. Its in April, so that's 4 months to train. We'll see...
