ok... this is the picture that makes me sad. i know it sounds horrible to say, but i am NEVER in photos, if i can help it, so, today is my start day. it makes me sad that there are so few pictures of me with my kids and my husband. i need to get healthy and i need to loose 50 pounds. i would be happy with a minimum of 30 pounds, or 40 pounds but i am going big!!
i can't bare to take a photo of myself today, why start now, i have been in denial for so long. i sometimes feel that i am out of control. i am not out of control in the sense that i eat fast food every day or that i drink a 12 pack of soda or beer (thank god!! you'd find me under the table now!)... i am out of control that i eat too many carbs, i snack on my kids food when they are eating... and i snack pretty much all of the time!
and i am not working consistently, or pushing myself when i do work out... which has changed today. i dusted off my treadmill and jogged/walked 3 miles, it took me 45 minutes... 15 minutes miles... pathetic! my goal is to run a 10 mile race on Labor Day. the race is called the park to park. it is in downtown denver. it is a great run! i've done this race before, but i was not in shape to run the whole thing. this time i want to run the entire 10 miles!
so, in my venture to get healthy and loose these pounds that have been with me for way TOO long... i am going to switch my eating habits and start working out. i am going to eat clean. i am going to work out a minimum of 4 days per week.
this blog is going to be my journal. i'll share with you the highs and lows of my weight loss journey, photos of my kids, our dog, and my husband. just to let you know, my husband has been so supportive of me. he does triathalons and is so fit. when we met, i was training for a marathon. i am one of those wives that has let herself go. we are celebrating our 13th anniversary this summer, and i'd love to go out to dinner with my husband in a beautiful summer dress and feel good about myself. i am not comfortable in this extra skin... it's time for it to go!
cheers!
Kelli
