Summer running

I've rounded up a few troops to do some summer running. There are 5 races which I will be running starting at a 5K in May and ending with the Denver Marathon in October.  Most of the races are on the front range which makes it easy for My lovely parents to come and cheer me on and take pictures :) Samantha McGee will be running all of them with me and a few other friends will be there for most of the low milage ones. I'm really excited that I have people interested in running with me! It makes it easier if you have someone to hold you accountable.  

Dad, If you and Ashley want to run some of these with me let me know!

Here is the list of races and the websites to find information on them:

Change

I've been getting bored with the same old same old. That's why I decided to change a few things. I felt like I was looking a little blah and a wee bit out of shape. As I blogger earlier, I am on a quest to be healthier and lose a bit of weight. With that I decided to overhaul my outward appearance. I started my inside overhaul by eating smaller portions of healthier food and taking vitamins every morning, which has started to pay off. I've lost 6lbs. so far. On the outside I have been taking better care of my skin, I bought new fun makeup and brushes. AND I got a cute, sassy new hair cut. I also bought some skinny jeans. I bought them online and haven't gotten them yet so the verdict is still out (We'll see). So that's about it. It's time to look fabulous!

The Stats

So here are the stats for the past 2 days
Wednesday:
Weight: 142
Thursday:
Weight:141

Motivation

Motivation...Something I lack.

I have decided that now is the time to light the fire under my a## and start working out.I know that I feel better, look better, and am an all around happier person when I am in a stable workout program, yet I can't find the motivation to do so. I know all the tricks:

Start off slow...

Talk yourself into it...

Eat healthy...

blah, blah, blah.

All those things are fine and dandy but when I get home from a nine hour day at work all I want to do is sit on the couch and relax. So I have decided that I will post my weight and workouts (or lack there of) on my blog every day so that it is not just me keeping tabs on my progress.
(OK it might just be me and my sister because I'm pretty sure she is the only person who reads this)

Here are the stats for today...
Weight: 143 lbs. (yikes! When did that happen!)
Exercise: Non so far (Oh that's how that happened)
Goal: 120 lbs. by May 1st and a heck of alot more energy

And so it begins...

This is my ugly "before" Picture
