So today I started...

Ok, so today is as good a day as any to start this. Right?
Yeah, that's what I said too.

So anyway, this is the only way I think I can even have a snowballs chance in hell of trying to find my way back to getting "right", being what I'm meant to be, etc... Back from obviously being "wrong" for me and not what I am supposed to be. My body is a temple and it definately needs to be taken care of. If I put anything in black and white print, then I am making a commitment to myself and no one else that I must honor.

OK Kel, so honor yourself and don't chicken out, give in, etc...

So my thing is that to motivate myself (and help keep from the pitfalls ahead), I have decided I need to run a 5K. I'm not sure if that means I can run/walk a 5K or if I have to just run all the way, but either way - it is a start. Baby steps....baby steps.
So, I started my training regime. I did the 1st workout already. This week is 20 minutes of walk/jog three times. So I'm thinking today, Thursday & Saturday? I'll let you know if my days change. I'm sorta embarrassed that my top speed was only 3.5 mph and I lowered it to 3.2 so I would not get discouraged. I have to be able to do this and feel good about it. If I make it too hard, I will quit. On the bright side, I burned over 100 calories and went about a mile and a quarter. This is on a treadmill, mind you. My neighborhood is such that the hills not only have eyes, but they would kill me.

The online guide says I need nine weeks to train for a 5K. So I need to begin searching for a 5K in my area that will take place sometime in June. This is my next task, along with trying to fit a proper diet into all this. OH, and don't expect any weight postings, not happening here peeps. I will, like any semi-diva, only tell you how much I lose (hopefully that will occur).

So, I am off...
