Ready set go!

It's been an interesting month.. between finals, my new job, and my boys being home for the summer life has been busy!!  I also got shingles right after finals.  And I went to the Dr. and started on an anti-depressant.... I am trying to take back control of my life.  About 2 weeks ago I decided that tough love is the answer!  I got online and signed up for a half marathon and have been RUNNING again! :)  I figure either I will train and lose weight or I will run it out of shape and attempt to not die!  Either way.. I'm running the race!  I managed to get back down to the weight I was in July and so.. I am officially in this month.  To be honest.. I need the money... :)  Money is quite a motivator isn't it? 

Okay... really... I'm serious... I am going to get into the 120's this month. 

So... I need to make goals and DECIDE to do it.

#1 -  No sugar. Period.

#2 - WATER WATER WATER!!  AT least 80 ozs a day.

#3 - NO ALCOHOL!! 

#4 - 5 meals a day. 

#5 -  RUN!!!  At least 4 times a week!  Walk hills 2 days a week.

#6 - Cancel gym membership... total waste of money!

#7 - NO EXCUSES!!!

I am going to make a print out of this and put it all over the place!  My fridge... my school binder... the bathroom mirror... anywhere I will see it.  I know it's important that I remind myself daily. 

Now... WHY?  Why do I want this?

#1.  Because it's getting cold and I don't fit into any of my pants.

#2  Because being small is an advantage in flight nursing.

#3  Because I want to be an example of healthy living for my children.

#4  Because I miss feeling "cute".

#5  Because I want to feel in CONTROL of me.

#6  Because I love me when I am exercising.

#7  Because life is way too short to spend it wishing for something more.

#8 TO FINISH WHAT I START!! 

I'm serious!!  It's on!
