Reluctant Runner
After a few years of marriage, a sedentary desk job, too much fast food, and a general lack of exercise, I found myself facing a puffy stranger in the mirror. For once things clicked, and I lost almost 25 pounds. That was 2008, and since then I've gained back all but three of those pounds. Ugh.
I always start out with the best of intentions, gung-ho and with my plan for success mapped out in detail. Planning is the fun part...sticking to the plan? Not so much. I'm striving ...

My Goals:
5% Challenge Goals:
I will exercise for 30 minutes or more 5 days a week. I will combine running, spinning, weight training, and the dreaded Jillian Michaels.
I will track my food and use the WW Points Plus system.
I will log my exercise, weigh in weekly, and check in with my team regularly.
5%= 9 lbs.
Total Goal= 30 lbs.
My Program:
I need to learn to consistently eat right...no more low-carb, 4-day, or whatever diet to lose the weight. This has to be sustainable. Veggies are my friends, and cheese is NOT a food group. : ) I know these things, so now to apply them...consistently.

A great challenge this week, wouldn't you agree? I know one of the ways I'll be getting my freggies in is with a fruit & spinach smoothie several days this week. With another bout of snow expected mid-week, a bowls of low-sodium vegetable soup will be on the menu, too! What's your game plan? 
! 
I hope Spring has sprung in your neck of the woods. 
May you always have work for your hands to do. 
May your pockets hold always a coin or two. 
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain. 
May the hand of a friend always be near you. 
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
