My Accomplishments for Today

Today I went grocery shopping and only bought what was on my list.. only healthy foods!  Also, I parked father away from the door that I have in a long time.  The store was packed and instead of driving around looking for a close spot, I took one towards the end of the parking lot.  Note for myself next time: get the 40lb bag of dog food first.  More weight to push around the store.

I did not go to the gym today because I decided to sleep way in today.  That was a fail, but I attempted to make up for it by exercising at home.  I did 50 jumping jacks, 10 push-ups, 20 lunges (10/leg), 20 side lunges (10/leg), and 20 bird dogs (i just found out what those were today...thank you pinterest).

Goals for tomorrow:  I will make it to the gym tomorrw!  And I will prep my food for the week.

Let Me Explain...

Ok.... here we go. An attempt at another blog. Hopefully this one I will keep up with. Recently, some family and friends, who are all coworkers of mine, decided to do the Tough Mudder. The Tough Mudder is basically and 10-12 mile obsticale course/marathon.... mostly obsicale course. Its intense. Just seeing the pictures from their journey through it was inspiring, motivating. After I saw the pictures and heard about everything they did, I wanted to do it. REALLY wanted to do it. And so, I will be signing up to do the Tough Mudder with them in October 2012. Check it out! Watch the intro video:  http://toughmudder.com/

This makes me crazy. Mostly because I am completely out of shape. COMPLETELY. I am at one of the heaviest weights I have ever been at. Quite depressing. I blame it on the fact that I am in a fantastic relationship with a wonderful man... obviously its comfort weight, right?? But in all fairness to him and our relationship... its just because I am incredibly lazy. And this is going to be hard to change. But I will do it. I have to do it! Because after I spend the money to sign up for Tough Mudder, there's no turing back. Not when its at least $90 out of my pocket, depending on when I sign up.

This blog will help be my motivation. At first I am only going to share it with my closest friends, because I am going to reveal my starting weight, my goals of where I want to be by October, and worst of all...pictures. Before pictures. Blehhh! Because if people know what I look like with a limited amount of clothes on, I will absolutely have to make a change. Haha! ...But seriously.

So here I go people! Please please please help motivate me. Kick my butt. Encourage me. Help keep me going. Because I have a feeling this is going to be a hard journey, and the easiest thing I could do is quit. But I don't want to. I want this! I want to be able to say that I accomplished something nobody thought I could. I found out today that some of coworkers don't think I can do it. I want to prove them worng! SO BAD. So help me. Join me, even! :) Love you all. Thanks in advance for support. You are now obligated to it. ;)
