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!

Sharing my weight

I decided that I am going to share my weight.  I figure it is just a # and I am what I am, doesn't really matter what the scale says I am, everyone can see that I am over weight, so why hide the #.  I just stepped on the scale, of course that was at 12:00pm after eating lunch.  I weigh 210 lbs according to my cheap scale.  Wow, I think that is a record for me, well maybe with the exception of when I was pregnant.  Even though I know it is a high number, I don't feel so bad about it like I would think I would.  Maybe when you decide to make a change in your life it makes it easier to accept it? 

I just stepped outside to bring the dog out, and wow I can't believe how nice it is out there again today.  I sure did pick the right time to start an outdoor exercise routine!  I'll be heading out for my walk/jog as soon as Samantha wakes up from her nap!

    Hi Tina! Congrats on starting a change. I've just recently starting to blog about my weight loss journey, too. And the feedback and encouragement is a great way to stay motivated and accountable.
    I'm off on my walk now, too. My husband just got home so he can be here with the kids.
