Excuses...excuses

So, I haven't blogged since FEBRUARY! I have been going back & fourth on which excuse to use but I thought I would give you my top 3:

1: So, I ran my first half marathon. Good, right? I ran it in 2 hours and 5 minutes, averaging 10 minute miles! :) But guess what happened after... I got tendinitis. Painful, to say the least. It took me over 6 weeks to get my stubborn self to the doctor and start physical therapy but I am in the midst and feeling much better.

2: During the above, I became the Pool Manager at my work. Did I mention I found this out 2 weeks before it was supposed to open? So, I have gone from working 40 hours to 55 hours a week and time is not on my side right now. Who has time to exercise after working 15 hours in day? Did I mention I am a single mom?

3: I have been on a Diet Coke binge and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. (Free Diet Coke at work... working over 10 hour days...yeah, that is a lot of Diet Coke).

Excuses are for the birds and I need to get my ducks in a row and my ass on a treadmill!

So, here is to revamping this blog and creating a fresh start! I still have over 4 months to accomplish my 2012 goals so I best be gettin' to work!

This all came about during a canyon drive with my Auntie this past weekend. We were driving home from our family reunion and we were talking about a few health challenges she is going through. So, I suggested she and her daughters, my mom and any other women in our family who wanted to meet once a week with weekly goals and motivate each other to become healthier women! We all shared our goals tonight and the following are what I committed to:

1: Give up sugar (less than 6 grams a day)

2: Give up flour

3: No more soda

4: Drink a gallon of water a day.

5: Exercise 5 days this week for 60 minutes

This will be a challenge, to say the least. But my body needs this! I need a cleanse to get out all these toxins! So, here we go! This is me, RECOMMITTING to be FIT!
