I did it! And I'm still ALIVE!!!!!

After dreading this day - Tuesday, February 23rd 5:45pm for days, it's now 7:45pm and I'm still alive! How cool is that?

Today was the day that I started my 5K run Training Program with a fantastic girl - Lisa. She has taken me under her wing. The 13 week program consists of running 3 days a week. Our days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday or Sunday. Tonight we started off running for 60sec and then walking for 90sec for a total of 20min.

Being overweight and not in shape at all, it's astounding how much fear of the unknown can inhibit you. Like I said, I was really dreading this day but finished (which is the main thing) feeling so charged! I encourage all of you who need lose weight to find a nutritional program that works for you - U Weight Loss does really work too!! I've started my 4th week and I've lost 12lbs! And also commit to an exercise program. Exercising is a great way to get away from the everyday and spend time by yourself or with someone you enjoy being with.

So, I am continuing on my journey. One run down...many to go and 12lbs down. On my way to my first race - the 5K at the Bluenose!

I'm so PUMPED!
