I CAN DO THIS.

For months now my best friend and I have been talking about being each others buddies for working out and eating better, even from far away. I tried dieting last fall yes I lost about 15lbs, but i obsessed over counting calories and it just got too be too much for me. I cant obsess over things like that or be on a so called "diet". I need to eat "clean" and watch my portions, junk food, pop, and candy.

So in order to keep my goal of staying active & losing some weight. I signed up for the Color Me Rad 5K in Indianapolis in September. It will give me the motivation to keep exercising all summer so I don't look like a fool at the race. I am glad Erica and I chose this one because there is really no pressure to race and be #1 its suppose to be fun and for a good cause.

I first started by telling Tevis that Erica and I were going to sign up for the 4 mile run/walk in fort Wayne and asking him to get a gym membership so I can get some exercise in. He doesn't think I'll go to the gym by myself, he may be right. I hate thinking i will be the fat girl in the gym. I gotta get over that fear. I have an exercise bike at home but i don't think it gives me the exercise I need, i just sit down and sit back and peddle. It doesn't look like an actual bike. I hate going out to run or walk in the country because it just feels so unsafe, and then when we move i can ride my bike around the addition and walk/run on the sidewalks. I am gonna work on this.... below picture

So then i got to my parents house and told everyone about the Color Me Rad 5K... i was excited to tell my dad because he is was a big runner back in the day, now i don't think he thinks i will/can do it. But hey i can prove him wrong, right? Everyone was supportive which is nice, no one was telling me not to do it or you cant. Its 3.1  miles and i think with training over the summer I can do this. Oh man, i am so extremely nervous and have no confidence but I start walking and running i will build up my body and be able to do this. Along the way hopefully losing weight and making myself feel 100x's better.This is a huge step for me and all i am looking for is support and encouragement. Tevis even said he would be there at the race to cheer me on.
