I'm going to run a Marathon

Yes...you read that correctly I am going to run a marathon. I joined this program called Marathon Makeover and it is a 44 week program that trains you to run a marathon. You may check out their website here . I decided to do this because running a marathon in my opinion means one is in the best shape they possibly can be and is really healthy and those are things I want for myself. Right now I am struggling with the training sessions during the week because I have never been consistent with working out and to get in top marathon shape I must train 6 times a week. The first 10 weeks they have us just walking so now is the time to "get with the program". I will be checking in with you all hopefully once a week to update you on how well I followed my training program for that week my ultimate goal is by week 4 to not miss any training sessions. As far as food goes I am just watching what i eat and trying to drink 3L of water a day. I figured once I get working out consistently down then I can move onto food. If you are wondering about an update on my weight I am 169. I would love to post a by ??/??/???? I want to weigh ??? but it has never happened so I will save myself the trouble but I do need to lose quite a bit by April 1st I am going to the beach and I wanna look good.

Quick update!!!

I now weigh 176.0 that is 5 pounds for my first week of my challenge...I will upload some pictures sometime this week!!!

Quick Update

Hi Everyone,
I am back and happy to report I have reached my first 10 pound goal I am officially weighing in at 164 pounds. Yes I do owe you a picture but unfortunately I have to find my camera first. I think ten pounds is always easy for me to lose then I gain it back but if I can stay motivated this go round I know I can accomplish another 10 pound weight loss in hopefully the same amount of time. I have learned some slightly motivating things from this 10 pound weight loss. Keeping track of what I eat, not weighing myself everyday, and making working out part of my plans instead of whenever I have free time helped me stick to my goals. So what are things that help motivate you to stay on track when trying to lose weight?!?!

Here is some fitness inspiration for you it is my BOYFRIEND!!!
