LET'S BE HONEST...

I wish I could tell you that I've been running my ever widening buns off. I have to be honest here though, I haven't even been setting my alarm to get up at 5:50 am to run. After weeks of hitting the SnooZ button over and over and over and over.... I finally gave in and just set it to 7 am.

I don't know what my problem is! I have been working weekly with my dietitian and I'm trying to get motivated. But I am really, really struggling to muster up the motivation to stop shoveling garbage into my mouth and start running every day. When I weighed in around 200 lbs I was way more motivated to count calories and attempt to walk-jog every day. I don't know what my damage is! The number on the scale keeps going up and my self esteem and confidence are plummeting.

THE PLAN:
I'm writing here. No escape. I need YOUR HELP to keep me on track. PLEASE HASSLE MY COMMENTS SECTION every day for the next 2 weeks (long enough to get me in the habit)! I will post a picture and running re-cap with stats from my new nike running chip at least 5 days a week for the next two weeks! Starting today. The tentative schedule for the next week is:
Today
Thursday 21st
Friday 22nd
Saturday 23 rd
Monday 25th
Wednesday 27th
Thursday 28th

If you all do a great job and help me out.... I may let you follow along with my planned weight loss goal. To finally get to my goal weight by June 18th. If you're really lucky, I might post my weight. YIKES> If that doesn't motivate me.... I don't know what will!

Just keep running. And me and Lori will be knocking on your door soon to be running early. It will be here before we know it. Keep up the good work.

You are awesome for putting that up on here. I'm sure it'll be a good motivator. So SET YOUR ALARM TONIGHT! ;) OK, what I was really going to say is that if you ever stay up way too late and want to sleep in, I'll watch layla while you run a few miles. I've traded with friends a little bit this winter (we'll take turns watching each others kids for 40 minutes or so) so we can go out a little later when it's warmer (not as slippery) etc. SOOOO...if you want me to watch little Layla bug tomorrow I will!

You are lucky to have friends like Jami who will watch Layla while you run....Or to be close to grandmas to watch Layla while you run. If you get discouraged just think of me next week. Matt is going to Utah for the week so will have 2 kids and each time my oldest child has to go to the bathroom we have to gear up in all the cold weather gear, baby carrier etc... so we can go out for 10 min. Not to mention we (me and the kids) have to go for an hour walk/run as well. With that said...I do have the BEST running trails!

Stay on target. Just keep running. Call me to plan some runs. Or I can watch Layla for 40 min; I can rotate her through all the baby stations I have set up. She'll fit right in! By the way, is KDAY serious about that?

Shannon you can come to my house and watch my Friends. You are more than welcome to use my treadmill too.
