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 4

I started out my day really good this morning, I was able to get half price tickets to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream coat.  It's one of the musicals that is on my "Bucket List", along with Wicked and Riverdance.  Someday I will get to see the other two.  Food really got the better of me again today, I just haven't gotten motivated yet to really work on food, I need to go grocery shopping so I have some better choices in the house.  Usually when I start a weight loss plan, I start with diet and don't feel motivated to exercise, right now it is the other way around, I feel motivated to exercise but not diet. 

This is a hard time of year for me diet wise, with all the special holiday food it is hard to resist.  I will just plan to keep it in moderation, I don't want to give it all up completely, I find when I try to deprive myself that I end up eating more than I would have in the first place.  One of my downfalls is anything pumpkin flavored, and Starbucks has the best Pumpkin Spice Latte, and who can resist that festive red cup! I really need to get some diet pop in the house too, been drinking too much coke. 

I got out for my walk again today, but it had to be cut short since it started to rain.  It wouldn't have bothered me, but I had the girls with and didn't want them to get sick from getting wet.
