I was good!!!
I only walked 5 miles but it was a start and got my butt moving.
Eating wise, I ate good but I didn't eat dinner which is bad for my metabolism.

Not a good way to start
Yesterday I left work early with what I thought was a migraine but I ended up having a fever. So no working out for me.
I did eat healthy though which was easier since I didn't have much of an appetite.
I have my gym clothes with me to go directly to the gym from work!

First Post!
A little background on me:
I never really struggled with my weight until college. I played softball and was a pitcher so I pitched daily and worked out daily, keeping my weight in check.
The summer before college involved a lot of drinking and eating junk and no softball... so no working out. I put on 20 lbs just that summer.
Freshman year of college I got mono 2 weeks into school. I got a horrible case and was hospitalized. I lost 35 lbs in a month and looked so skinny. I also lost all of my muscle tone and energy.
College- I would work out 2-3 times per week but my eating habits were horrendous. I would literally have a bagel for every meal. Each year I would gain 10-15 lbs.
Since College- I have gotten used to eating junk food and the love of beer which has caused my weight to absolutely balloon to my highest ever (over 200). I have zero energy and hate how big I have gotten.
So this is my pledge:
Work out 6 days a week, eat healthy and get back down to 150 by 2010. That is going to take a lot of work and I know I can do it! Each morning I will update the blog with what I did exercise and eating wise the day before. This is my way of keeping myself in check and to continue motivating myself.
For working out I am going to do the Couch to 5k program and then continue on to the Marathon program. My goal is to run in the Women's Marathon (do the half marathon) in San Francisco in October. It is not an unrealistic goal at all so I can do it!!
My health/fitness goals for today:
Eat healthy portioned meals
Run/Walk 20 minutes
Weight Train- Lower body
Stretch
