Nine months ago I gave birth to my wonderful son Noah. And the books say...it took you nine months to put the weight on and it will take nine more to take it off. Um, yea right! So technically my time is up. Granted it is only 10 pounds more to go. But I have decided to stop worrying about what the scale says. Being healthy is now my main and in December I started getting antsy to run again. I figure that if I am running my weight will be what it is and what is right for me. And I must have a goal in order to get busy.
A bikini body by summer? Not a chance! Besides with my stretch marks where they are there will never by a bikini again. Nope, my goal is to run a 5k by Noah's first birthday. Not just walk one because I could probably do that right now but to run the whole thing. So that is 3 months to get into running shape. Is this doable? I think so. And with the accountability of my friends I will make this happen.
I decided to do this blog because I watched Julie and Julia this past weekend. Dork? Maybe, but this sounds like fun to me. I want to be healthy in all aspects of my life. Physically in good shape, healthy eating, purging my home of unnecessary things and simplying, and even cleaning healthier. Now I don't know how to do all of this yet but I will learn and share this information with you.
Dr. Oz says that a good place to start is to get a pedometer and try to reach 10,000 steps a day. So tomorrow I am off to buy a pedometer (if the BX carries them) and start my new journey.
