It has been a long time. I got busy. I got lazy. Then I got inspired. For a while, almost three years ago I had problems with my gallbladder and I had to get it out. Once that happened, I had to change my diet and I started exercising.
I lost 30 pounds. I lost the 30 pounds I had been carrying around since the birth of my second child in 2004. Well, I probably carried 15 from the first daughter and 15 from the second, but you know what I mean. But the weight came off and suddenly I was myself again, the old me, the before I had kids me was returning.
I kept the weight off for about a year and half and then I stopped exercising as much. Then I got lazy, but I kept up my good eating habits.
I know I have gained a little back, maybe 10 pounds? I have decided a couple of things. First, I am not getting on a scale. I became a bit obsessed with it when I was losing before and I knew if I got on now I would get depressed, so I stopped scales all together.
I am exercising again and enjoying it. But I have to be accountable to people and to myself. So, I have decided to run a half marathon. OMG.
I will use this blog to track my progress, so it might be boring, but it will keep me in check. The marathon is in November in Savannah, GA.
Be there or be square
