Woman's Fitness Festival 5K

After 7 weeks of training, I was ready to do a 5k.  By ready I mean, physically able to make through the whole thing without dying.  

It was a fun race, can't wait to do it again and hopefully do it faster!

 Official finish time was 55.04 (my watch had a slight malfunction and started late)

Average pace 17.46 per mile.  

It's a good start considering I'm still 80+ pounds overweight and haven't been very active since last summer.  

Next goal is getting down to a 15 min mile.  

1st week officially down of counting calories and it's worked.  Down 4.2 lbs.  Not too shabby.  I've not figured out how to motivate myself into exercise, but it I did walk around the pool last night as the boys were swimming.  Baby steps.....

2013

Another year has started and I'm still just as fat (fatter actually) than ever.
It's gross and uncomfortable for starters.  My body is not enjoying all this extra it has to carry around and it's making everyday things even harder to do. 

For now, I'm back to tracking my food on Loseit.com which syncs my computer with my phone, so no excuses!  What's cool is that it has a bar code scanner, so I don't even have to enter in foods not on their list, just scan and enter how much I ate.

I'm trying to move more, slowly but surely.  Pinterest will hopefully help me get smaller, finding exercises and recipes to try.

Before photos are coming, that's going to suck and be awful, but hopefully motivating.
