Here I am again, still in the same place I was last time I posted which was in 2010! I still haven't lost weight, in fact, I've probably gained 20 lbs! My weight is a roller coaster, I tend to lose weight in the Spring and Summer and gain during the Fall and Winter. I don't want to ride that roller coaster anymore..I want to get active and stay active! I have been reading some motivational blogs to get inspired and thought maybe if I start a blog and take it seriously, then I could hold myself accountable! I love running, and when I do it I feel AMAZING, but for some reason I stop loving it after 3 days...I don't know why that is! I sign up for half marathons and the first one I did I took seriously and trained my butt off for it (like really, my butt went away), then every one after that I kinda just do it more for fun and walk and talk with someone, I don't want to do that anymore, so I'm starting over TODAY! I started out today with 2 miles and it took me exactly 30 minutes I'm going to keep doing 30 minutes on the treadmill every morning until I can do 3 miles in 30! I have ALWAYS been a slow runner, I ALWAYS stop and walk before I need to. I want to be fast, I want to push myself, and I want to stay healthy! The thing about running is I never had to watch what I ate, because A) I naturally ate healthier to fuel my body, B) I burned so many calories I could pretty much eat what I wanted. I want to get back to that!
This is me after the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial Half Marathon 2010. Time 2:38
3 Weeks later at the Ogden Half Marathon 2010 Time 2:54
See what I'm saying! I took my first race seriously, and haven't got better than 2:54 since, in fact, I just looked and I have actually gotten slower every time..I'm NOT saying 2:38 is FAST by any means..but for me it is.
Layton Half Marathon 2011 Time 2:54
After finishing the Bear Lake Half Marathon 2012. Time 2:56
When I stopped taking running seriously, I stopped losing weight.
So now my new running journey begins...
