New YEAR!

It has been that long...almost 2 months since I last blogged.  I thought blogging would help me stay on track but if you have no followers there is no accountability!  BUT...I am going to make myself try to do better. 

The new year is a time for resolutions correct?  I don't know that I believe in them.  I didn't start my workout on JANUARY 1st and think everything would be amazing and I would be a rockstar.  I DID start my workout on January 3rd because my cousin-in-law and I are doing a "biggest loser" type thing at our wellness center and it started this week.  It is 12 weeks.  That means, we have 12 weeks to lose the most weight of anyone else in the program and we get $300.  THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!! If that isn't motivation, what is?

Also, I ordered my wedding dress on December 28th.  We ordered it a size smaller than what I am right now because I have 9 months to lose weight and look WAY better in an already gorgeous dress!

I saw on another blog a running streak challenge from Thanksgiving til the new year.  I didn't participate but I'm creating my own little challenge.  I want to run (JOG) a mile every day for the month of January.  Now, I started Jan 3rd so you might say I failed right away BUT I decided to do it from Jan 3-Feb 3 so it would be a month.  I CAN DO THIS!!!!!! 

So..the first day I walked the entire mile because I forgot my inserts for my tennis shoes.  The next day the tredmills were busy so I did a mile on the elliptical.  Yesterday, I went SLOW but I jogged my FIRST whole ENTIRE mile of jogging at once!!! That means I didn't stop.  Not at all.  Not once!  I was SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!!!!!  I realized maybe I don't have to be a speed racer as long as I complete it!!!!  I'll be looking to improve from there over the next month but

I CAN JOG AN ENTIRE MILE WITHOUT STOPPING!!!!!!!!!!
