I desperately need to run.  I hate that my treadmill is broken.  I wish that we won the mega millions so that I could buy my own gym!

Luckily I'll be running outside this weekend!  I have a date to run with friends both Saturday & Sunday.  It will most likely be incredibly cold tomorrow morning on my 1st run, then hopefully nicer on Saturday afternoon.  Got to work my runs into some busy schedules.  

Yesterday was a good day for me. 

1. I came in under my calorie goal
2. I did level 1 30 day shred
3. Drank lots of water

And, I weighed myself this morning.  It saddens me that I am 11 lbs heavier than I was in April at my half marathon.  How did I let myself gain that much?  Is it possible to lose weight in December with 2 birthday parties, a trip to Disney World, and Christmas?

Yes!  I can totally do this. 

I'm changing things up around here a bit.  Without a doubt, I'll still post family stuff, but I really want to incorporate healthy living. 

In March 2011 I started to run, well if I'm being honest..... jog.  I very slowly started to increase my distance, finally running my 1st 5K race in October 2011.  I was hooked.  I completed another 5K race in November, then a 5 miler in March 2012.  I shocked myself when completing my greatest running/jogging accomplishment, a half marathon in April 2012. 

Fast forward to November 2012 and I am still a jogger who hopes to lose weight and improve my race times in the process.
