Welcome! I have created this blog to not only help me, but hopefully help someone else as well. The goal is to loose this weight that has been following me my whole life. I would like to loose 55 lbs in one year. I hope this will inspire at least one person to do this along with me. I believe the more support you have the better!!! Let’s get SKINNY!!!

DAY 37

I have a fire under my butt to get this weight off. I am considering getting up early to get a longer work out in. This hasn’t worked very well in the past for me but it is the only time I have to step things up. (Usually, I get dizzy or faint if I don’t eat before exercising first thing in the morning, but I don’t like to eat first thing. I’m not a morning person.)  I can’t help feeling that I should be working out for longer periods of time. 30 min is good but it could be better. I will have to brainstorm to make this work.

I looked up how to prepare for a 5K run last night. It seems that in order to run a 5K you have to be able to run at least 2 miles with out stopping before you can attempt a 5K. Well… guess what? I can’t run for 5 minutes let alone 2 miles. It recommends training for 8 weeks prior to the race. I think I should start now. The race is in September and as you all know my father said he didn’t think I would do it. I need to prove that I can, not only to myself, but to my family & friends, too. I am tired of being fat!!!!

Wish me luck!!!
