Week #2

        Week 2.....Bleh Bleh Bleh! That is all I have to say. I didn't do much working out, I felt like I ate WAY too much food, and yet.....I am down another pound! Say What?!?!?! The total thus far is 5.8 lbs lost. I'm half way to my goal. It makes me happy. I don't really feel like I've lost 5 lbs, actually I can't even tell. But I will take it either way.

    Last week was a struggle for me. I had some pretty low days where all I wanted to do was be lazy, avoid the world, and watch T.V. I almost said to heck with it all. Why should I try when I will just fail? I was beginning the trend that I so often do which is give up before I've even started. Staying positive is hard when you have failed so many times in the past. Angie is doing a great job cheering me on. We are taking a Zumba class and a kickboxing class together. Add that on top of the Zumba classes I'm doing with my friends from work and I should be rockin my motto "Hot Damn" soon!

    I'm glad I have the friends I do. They are working on getting healthier too, so it's good motivation for me to keep going. That, and I get the guilt trip if I miss a class :) Last Saturday we all did a 5k. Never in my life would I have guessed that I would do a 5k. But I did. It was under an hour, which for walking 90% of the time is pretty good I'd say. There are now plans to do another 5k in May. I'm not nearly as conditioned as Rochelle and Shalece, but I've got a week or two to get my butt in gear and train as much as I can. I really just want to do it so I can prove to myself that I can do a 5k in a decent time. Decent would be a half hour. I just decided that. Don't compare it to pro's time ;)
