I Interrupt This Regularly Scheduled Program...

Whaaaaat?! No recipe?! 

 Wow. 

My one follower {who already cooks every meal I've posted and most likely more creatively than me...not that I'm complaining, I get to eat her food!} will be quite upset I'm not blogging a recipe. So what gives?

Here's the deallio. 

Last year I worked my booty off. Quite literally. I worked my booty off...to...well...work my booty off. And by booty I mean double chin. Folks, {or should I say, folk?} I don't gain weight where most people do. My legs, thighs and rear end have stayed fairly slim my whole life. My stomach and my chin? Heh...that's a bit of a difference. 

See? 

That's Me and my bomb-diggity Bro. Yeah, I know we don't look anything alike...

So what's a newlywed to do? Get movin. Thankfully, I work with a group of women who are on the track of better health as well! I started running last spring, after a really rough time with shin splints I quit running. Life got in the way of my goals and here I am back at square one. Tonight was Day One. 

My goals:

{1} Run my first 5k this year 

{2} Feel good about myself.

Nope. I'm not worried about the number on the scale {thaaaat much}. I want to feel good. I'm not worried about impressing anyone, shoot, Ross asked me to marry him when I was at my heaviest! :-P I just want to feel better about myself. So here we go. I did 3 miles with Lucy tonight...sometimes she's a great running buddy...sometimes she sucks. Tonight? She sucked. Such is life! 

There are two 5k races here this year, one the last Friday in April and the other is the Sunday of my birthday weekend. I'm going to try and be physically ready by April but I will not push it. If I have to wait until August until I can run 3.1 miles without stopping, I will consider that worth the wait.

I can't say enjoy so much on this one...so...PEACE! :-)
