Starting c25k

So today I started training for my 5k in May. I'm doing c25k (couch to 5k) and while total miles and time is a bit less than I would normally push myself to do, it's nice to know the I'm following a program with a goal in mind and not just doing whatever I feel like. I got up at 5 and hit the treadmill - considering that I was up with Luke at 2:30 am this is a big accomplishment. Normally, I would say I'm too tired / this is crazy or something along those lines and stay in bed - but I didn't! That's the victory I'm celebrating today.

As for my run, I did the week 1 day 1 run (5 min walk warm up then 20 mins of alternating 1 minute jogging with 90 seconds of walking then a 5 min cool down). So in 30 mins total (10 of which were spent walking I did 1.9 miles - another thing to celebrate. After this morning's run, I think I can push myself a little harder on Wednesday.

Been a while

To say the least. A lot has happened over the last almost 3 years like, oh I don't know, HAVING ANOTHER BABY!!

Anyways, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep up with the blogging (might be a good way to keep myself busy while I'm on maternity leave) but I know that I am got g to keep up with my weight loss and fitness goals (feel kind of ashamed that I started the same goals 3 yrs ago - makes me wonder what the heck happened after "day2" last time!

I feel re-energized and know that I am a completely different person this time (this time meaning post baby). I'm not sure how I'm going to get there or what the path looks like (heck what the point of the blog might even be) but I know that I am going to find myself through this whole process. I'm tired of always saying "what would I be like if I was thin / in shape / in control / proud of myself / HAPPY".

So here goes: I will find myself. I will be happy with who I am. I will be proud of my accomplishments. I will be more than a number on a scale. For the first time in my life, I will be me for me and for no one else:)
