In June 2011 I decided to partake in a journey that would change my life in ways that I could not imagine.

Running.

Heavier than I had ever been, I decided to stop playing games with myself, with my life. If I continued on the path I was on, I would be unhappy for the rest of my life. I have two beautiful little girls that deserve to have their mother around for many many many years. I want to make them proud. I want to teach them to be healthy, active, happy. I signed up for my first ever 5k, Oct 15, 2011. I downloaded the C25k app on my phone, and after summer vacation, I hit the road. At 208 lbs.

Fast forward to August 2014. Heavier than I even was before, and stopped running. Time to stop making excuses and get serious!

Poor Choices.....

Ugh. Tonight I could barely run on the treadmill. I was so slow, and felt like I was going to throw up at any time. I know why though. My food choices have been AWFUL! I have been eating out alot again, and eating out more and more and more. And not drinking all the water I used to. Drinking regular soda. Eating snacks at night. Ugh. Oh, and don't even get me started on the candy I have eaten. Ugh.

So, I am going to write some simple rules for me to follow.

1. Breakfast = Protein drink
2. 1 Salad a day.
3.Dinner = Protein and Veggie. No starch.
4. Snacks in between. Fruit/nuts/protein.
5. NO EATING AFTER 7PM.
6. Water. Water. Water. Stop the soda.
7. Bring lunch to work 4 days a week.

Friday - Eat dinner out.
Saturday - Carb load day.
Sunday - Long run day.

Come on Mary. You've worked hard at this. You deserve to treat yourself better!
