5k what? RUN?? When?? YIKES!!

So I'm feeling a bit froggy.... I have signed the hubbs and I up for a 5k run in April 2013. No sweat right? Plenty of time to train... yeah ok. The last time I ran I was probably 8 years old! CRAP!

Most of you know that I've been attempting to lose weight for years. I say attempting lightly, because I tend to fall off of the wagon pretty fast. What can I say, it's a bumpy ride, and I don't have shock absorbers! What's my plan you might ask? 

Well I think I'm setting up a fool proof QUIT PROOF plan! I signed up for a lot of stuff lately, the 5k run, a cardio/walking class for spring semester, and a body sculpting class for school too! The classes will start January 7th. My thinking here is this: these two classes will force me to exercise. I plan to keep a high GPA, and I can't let a little P.E. class mess that up. I will be required to come to gym class and exercise twice a week to obtain a good grade. I put it in the middle of my school day so I'm not tempted just to skip it and go home. PLUS~ I built in time Friday mid day to workout in the gym at the school solo too.

So with couch to 5k training for the next few months, plus these classes 3 days a week for 5 months, I'm hoping that I'll see some amount of weight loss, and be in the habit of working out 3 times a week~ thus creating a habit!! 

On a serious note, the Doc has given me some orders. Now that she's got my thyroid pretty much under control she's advocating a gradual change to healthier behaviors. Time to change!!

~Til next time~
