Weight Loss and Running

I will be completely honest. I turned to running as a means to an ends without a plan. I wanted to lose weight, and since running can help I thought I would give it a go.

That was 2 and a half years ago! Amazing how time flies. I was super motivated back then. I had to wear a white dress in front of 100+ people and look good doing it. I joined Weight Watchers and was pretty successful. I lost about 35 lbs and feel great. But I want to make some more serious fitness health strides and lose about another 30 lbs. Don't worry...I still have that much to lose healthfully, I promise!

In addition to training for a half marathon in October I need to do a serious overhaul of my eating!

Back to the basics I go:

-Continue running! (Duh training for my half marathon!)
-Eating 5-7 fruits and veggies every day!
-Water, water, water, water
-Bite it write it-Everything that goes in my mouth will be written down for review
-Limiting extras: Only eat deserts or drink calories if it's worth it-like when it is REALLY REALLY GOOD--not when I think I should to be social or because I am bored (ie that pan of brownies and 5 beers that I had this past weekend...that was a bad plan)

Umm...probably biggest challenge ever is the fact that I am hosting the 3rd Annual Lax BBQ keg and all this weekend...we will see how this goes.

But I am on Day 2 of my commitment and going strong!
