So I have been thinking about how unfit I am and that being an older mom (meaning that I was older when I started to have my kids) I know that I need to make a change in my life if I want to be around to see my Grandchildren. Some of my friends from a board I am on that I have gotten to know over the past 3 years have been talking about running lately. They have inspired me to try to do more to get fit. One of the mom's mentioned a program called Couch to 5K and I thought that sounded like a good program.

So starting now, this blog is going to be about my journey to go from obese to fit. I don't know how long it is going to take, I am not looking for a quick fix, I want to do this for the long run and keep up with it. I am sure there are going to be times when I slip up, but I am creating this blog to keep me accountable. And for all of my followers to keep me accountable too. So I definitely encourage positive feedback!

Day 5

Yesterday was a pretty good day considering I worked over 14 hours.  I made much better food choices, someone brought a whole bowl of Halloween candy into work, and a managed to just eat one little fun size bar. Instead of driving, I walked to the store to get my lunch (it may have only been 5 min. round trip, but it was something.)  I choose a salad with walnuts, chicken, feta cheese, and craisins with a raspberry vinaigrette and of course lettuce greens.  It was really good!
