10 days down 4.5 months to go

Ok. So I have readjusted my goals and how I obtain them and how I record progress. So basically everything. BUT. It's going great! I started at 210 and am now at 203.5 lbs! Hoorah. Feeling pretty good. 

So now. It's similar in execution. Except EVERY day I do a brisk walk, jog if I can, and a muscle strengthening workout program. 

I only take measurements every 2 weeks instead if one. No more fast food. Period. Except subway. And then I only get a 6inch instead of a foot long. I drink 3L of water per day, walk 10000 steps total, and only 1600 calories. 

I have a big calendar display on my pin board showing me exactly where I am. Goals are shown as well as check in days. And I have to say that it's going extremely well!!! I started aug 1, it's now the morning of the 11th. I've walked worked out every day except Saturday because I could barely move due to pain and Sunday, well cause it's the day of rest. 

I went back and re read everything I has written before. And whoa did I go through a lot of obstacles. Even if they were of my own making. Something I realized is that I have to commit fully to a healthy lifestyle or it is too easy to slip back in to my old ways. But I want to be healthy. So here it goes. With my new shoes. Heaven in a shoe. 

And my workout buddy. I love that now he asks to workout with me and if he feels sick he is like "mom, I gotta work out" and like drops right there into push-ups. It's wonderful. Such a great kid and motivator. I really want my kids to be healthy and active and a large part if that will be me being that way. 

So cheer me on! But for some reason the motivation this time is more internal. Failure is just simply not an option. 

So  my goal right now is to be able to run a 5km. By end of September. And if I lose weight along the way really awesome. And if not... I'll be a little disappointed but atleast I'll be in shape so that when the zombie apocalypse hits I can run. 

Peace out ( as the youth of the world say)
