I was always thin and never had to work for it which makes losing what i have now, hard. I do not like working out, running, or DVD workouts. I do not like to get hot and sweat and out of breath. I do not like working super hard for like 2 weeks and still seeing zero results.
But i have come to realize that this weight is not going to come off on its own. Obviously since im still stuck here. I need to make a change. I always say I need to and (ask my husband) always try something for about 2 weeks. But i never stick to anything because i get discouraged.
I think more than losing weight i would probably be more proud that I actually stuck with something for a long period of time, and actually DID something instead of just Thinking about it.
Before I got pregnant I had started a running (yuck!) program called Couch to 5K. It is supposed to help non runners[me] get off the couch and be able in about 9 weeks to run 3 miles. I believe i was on week 4ish when we had a family emergency and I got out of my Habit of running. Then we found out I was pregnant and that 1st Trimester with 2 jobs i was more than exhausted that was the last thing on my mind.
So today marks my first "run" back on the program and it is a little different since i am pushing a stroller [hey more calories burned i guess]. I looked up some fun 5k runs to maybe sign up for so that i HAVE to run to "train" for it. I found one called The Color Run and it will be in Orange County in April registration is not open yet but it sounds like fun and it gives me time to practice and save money if it costs [not sure I've never done a run].
[[However that is pretty far. Maybe there is one closer to today date that will push me even harder to practice. ]]
I want to keep up with something. I want that to be my goal. Dont get me wrong i want to lose about 45 pounds but I think sticking with something to help me lose 45 pounds will mean more to me, someone who sticks with things for about 2 weeks then gives up!
Wish me luck!!
