I'm Back!!!

I am kicking it back into high gear.  I was a little down with my grandmother passed and did not really post and honestly did not work out like I should have.  :-(  Here is where I am starting at this week.

1. Weight 290 (surprisingly....)
2. No fried foods anymore (I ate was convenient over the past couple of weeks)
3. I realize more than ever I am an emotional eater. When I am dealing with things I eat. Not all bad things, but I will eat in excess....never good.
4. The 5k is a month a way....HELP!!! I am determined to do it....even if I walk. If I walk this one I will still have to find another one to run.
5. My old boss who is still in my office told me about The Couch to 5-K plan. Which I am starting....PRAY!!!

Tomorrow morning (well this afternoon....will get a small workout in before a late meeting) it is on! 3 miles in 50 minutes...I can do it, just have to push myself. I think my body has to build back up, but no matter what I have to keep it moving!

Life Interrupted

A posted on my other blog. Operation Death of Fat Girl is still going, but postings are on pause right now. My grandmother passed and a lot going on.  I will continue to work out and eat right, what postings will be slow.  I shall return!

Pictures speak a thousand words

Since I have been back from vacation workouts have not gone as planned :-( I only worked out 2 times last week and I really did not push myself. Operation Death of Fat Girl was on life support last week.  What was an eye opener was a picture my church posted from our youth conference on facebook. I did not know they took the pic, so I was very shocked to see it. The picture made me realize I have to step it up. There has been progress, I even have to let go of a pair of my favorite jeans because I can not keep them up and I actually fit into a pair of jeans that I could not fasten before(they were tight, but I could breath).  Here is the picture that gave me a wake up call.

 
That is me in the red shirt. I look a mess from the back! I will say a couple of months ago I could not get into those pants and now they are loose and they are part of my clothing rotation. Shirt is tight and I think I will not put back on until I lose a few more pounds.

Point being....when I see pictures like this I realize I have a long way to go.  In the morning I am going to try to run more and hopefully do 3 miles in 45 minutes....lets see how this goes. I will at least do it in less than an hour.  I also realized the 5k run is about 2 months away. I have to kick it into high gear.

I will be stepping on a scale on Tuesday....let's see how much damage I have done.
