I have come a long way so far and so close to completing my goal! Counting down to my 30th birthday where I want to start the next decade happy and healthy! Please feel free to add comments! They can be words of encouragement, helpful tips or a little banter like "hey, that snickers bar isn't going to help you to your goal"!! This blog is really for me but support is always welcome and if I can inspire someone else to get off the couch and get healthy then that is great! I know first hand how fast the pounds can creep up on you and how hard it is to first decide to make a change, find a routine that works, commit to it and accomplish it! Once I complete the goal it doesn't end there. It's time to get healthy and stay healthy!

Calories, Calories, Calories oh boy!

Who knew there were so many calories in every bite! Weekends I can see are going to be tough! I can not believe how many calories are in alcohol.. I may never drink again!
Today I went out for a long run to see what I could do. I ended up doing just about 11 miles. I did add in some incline training- I lapped Osanbashi Peir 5 times!! It's a pretty good incline maybe like if you put a treadmill up to 8 and then at the end of the pier there is another incline taking you up and around the other side. It's about 1/2 mile to do a full lap. The run felt pretty good. Seems like as long as I keep my speed down my ankle and knee last a little longer. After the pier I made about another mile and then my legs crashed from the incline training! :o) So I walked about 20mins to get home. Steve had gotten up to go for a bike ride, so we ended up eating lunch and then heading to the park to get some sun, after the park we headed out for dinner and then to see Sex and The City 2! I was really excited to see the movie.. BUTTTT I didn't think it was that great. I thought the first one was much better.

That's about it! I had a lot of calories today, I think I still burned more overall then I took in. But still pretty much would be maintaining. Tomorrow starts a new week of hopefully feeling a 100% to complete all of my training, as well as the first full week of calorie tracking. Starting next Sunday I will be posting weekly stats!

This weekend is a good show of how hard this will be... giving up some of my favs will be tough. I just have to get to my goal. Then it will be easier from there to just maintain then try to lose 2 pounds a week.
