You have the same body....

This mornings weigh in came in at 180.2.  I've always known in order to lose weight I need to change things and stop quitting.  It just seems so much easier said than done.  On our way down to the Warrior Dash this weekend. We were talking about bodies and how I see people do such amazing things & I could just never do that. My BFF then said: "Yes you can. You have the same body made up of the same muscles they have."  Well I guess that is true.......  I've always wanted to be super fit and before marriage I secretly wanted to be Miss Fitness USA.  I have been making up excuses to justify my lack of trying when she is right. We all have the exact same muscles and so our bodies are capable of doing the same things.  So this morning even though it was a Monday & I say it is bad luck to start a diet on a Monday I started.  Knowing that tracking is the key to my success I am on the hunt tonight to find a new calorie & fitness app.  I have my body bugg but it doesn't cut it for me I need something a little more. So I'll let you know what I find.  I ate well today. May have not stayed w/in my calories but I did turn down the opportunity to pick up dinner to come home and make something instead and that is a start! Still very tired & sore from the warrior dash.  But I know I should work out some how tomorrow. I am on the look out for a treadmill via craigslist and I am going to download the couch to 5K app and start there.  I want this to be the start of the everlasting change.  I want to be able to say I did the Warrior dash & realized I can be who I want to be.  I want to do it next year but in our home state & I want to compare pics from this year and last.

And it sounds like I'll be doing the STP w/ my DH, BFF & her DH next year.  Not sure how I feel about this one yet. My BFF really wants to & says if she is doing it I have to do it.  I have great lower body strength when I am in shape so if I can get that going & my asthma under control we are good to go. I tell you one thing I want to look like a biker not a stuffed sausage on that ride.  But that is a whole 10 months away & I could be not only at weight goal but I want & need to set some fitness goals as well, I think.  I always know what I want to weight but until this last weekend I haven't had many goals that include exercise.  That is something to think about!!!!
