Well I just got home from my doctor appointment. Now not only do I need to lose weight because I want to look good and my health, I NEED to lose weight for my health. My triglcerides are over 200 when they are suppose to be under 150, my pre diabetes went up from 5.7 to 5.8 and my blood pressure is 152/100. Not good!!!! Well at least I am documenting all of this so I can see my journey to being healthy and fit unfold. Eventhough my heels are killing me right now, I am going to do my Day 1 of Couch to 5K. I'll post my results later. Have a great day!

The start of something great! The journey begins...
"Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer. "
Percy Cerutty, an athletics coach in the 1950s and 1960s
Where do I start? How did I let it get this far? I can't believe how many times I have started and stopped dieting, exercising, etc. I keep saying I have the best reasons (EXCUSES!!!!) - my heels hurt (which they do. It feels like I am walking on blocks of wood.) But when I put my tennis shoes on, they feel better. I really need to go to the doctor and get another shot in my heels but it hurts like HELL!!!!!! Also since I have gained so much weight, I am not balanced and I get tired too easy and more and more excuses. Well since I started this blog to help my on my journey to getting FIT, and I have written down all my excuses to not get FIT, it is time to- as I say - shit or get off the pot!
I have literally lost all my self esteem, self confidence, and became depressed or lazy - I haven't decided which it is but I know it's not just about my weight gain but other things in my life. All issues in my life lead me back to the way I feel about myself and my weight. So...it is time to take control and take care of me because when I haven't been taking care of me, everything else in my life suffers - the house, my husband, the kids, etc. I am also doing this because my 10 year old son needs help losing weight and I know I am not the best role model for him by being overweight and unhealthy.
I am ready to start living my life to the best of my ability. Today is the first day of the rest of my wonderful life and I am going to be the best Mom, Wife, Daughter and Friend I can be and that starts now!
I am going to start my Couch to 5K app that I have on my iPod tomorow morning and go to the grocery and stock up on all good foods.
I hope, by reading about my journey, that it can inspire someone to change their life. I also welcome your words of wisdom to help me on my journey. I started this blog so I can be held accountable. I found this list - 101 Kicks in the Butt on Runners World. So feel free to ask me how I am doing on this journey. It's going to be hard but it has to be done! Thanks for joining me for the best run of my life!
