I'm back!

Okay, so I am having some regrets about erasing my last fitness blog. My thought at the time was to 'start anew', well that's great but I realize now that it served as a journal for me to reflect on. Believe me this will NOT happen with this blog!

2010 is soon approaching and I feel the need to re-commit myself to a healthy lifestyle. In the next few days I will be pondering my reasons behind wanting to do this and post my 'mission statement' with regards to my lifestyle change.

I feel like I am starting from scratch again and it's a little frustrating to say the least, but I am up for the challenge and am considering putting together a 'support group'...I'll keep you posted on that one.

This morning I walked 3 miles and hope to get a casual walk in this evening. I have planned out my meals for the day and my goal is to take on one meal at a time...I can do this, I've done it in the past I can do it again and I look forward to seeing the results that I will work so hard for. I'm back.

In the heat of the day

Yesterday I had planned on running early in the morning with a friend but some things got in the way of that and I wasn't able to go. Instead I had the grand idea to run at 10:15 a.m. (the only time that was available to me), well yesterday it was above 100-degrees outside and while it wasn't that hot when I started running it was still VERY hot for running!! I came home drenched after only a 30 minute run, but if felt good to get it done. Today I may head over to the rec center to run or wait until this evening, I'll post again today after I have accomplished that goal. Happy healthy living!!

Do what's best for me

It's been a long time since I've posted. Wow, I'm run/walking with a neighbor in the morning which is exactly what I need...someone to be accountable to and getting it done EARLY!

Yesterday I stepped onto the scale and had a scare that sent me into a healthy eating/workout spree...I know, I know, I need to make this a lifelong commitment not just something that comes and goes...I'm working on that. I just need to focus on how great I feel when I am on track and do what's best for me.

June 17th

Wow, February 10th was my last entry. I have done some very inconsistent working out since then, but hope that I can get back up and get with it. This morning I went on a run and I feel fantastic! It was a light run but a run none the less, I have found a friend interested in running and hope that we can stick with this. Wish us luck!

I found this on my friend's facebook and I had to steal it...hope you don't mind Stephani. I love this, we have no excuses!

Saturday

Saturday was a beautiful day so I ran hills for 2 miles and it felt so good to push myself. Today I plan on running my 30 minutes on the indoor track because it's snowing outside...yuck!!

Wednesday I ran 30 minutes and yesterday I focused on abs and back. Today I went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the elliptical with a lower body workout.
