Starting again

I thought today would be a good day to get back to blogging. And let me tell you why- I ran 1 mile today- whats the big deal you wonder?? I'll tell you- I weigh 225 pounds and I am not a runner. But in the last 2 months I have started to change that. I have been running in 1 minute increments. I have been working out. The eating part- not so much, but hey I am a work in progress!

My trainer at the gym had suggested that I make a goal and go for it, she actually suggested the 5K idea. I said sure, I'll give it a whirl, but really thinking- there is not a chance in hell I will actually do this. But two months later and I have run a mile.. small and steady right? I have come to realize that I may not be able to run the whole 3 miles, amend that- I know I won't. But that's okay. I will someday. I believe it, not everyday, but today I do.

So I hope you'll leave a comment, having people "around" really helps. And since everyone is a stranger I think being honest is easier.

Oh, a little about me, I am married, just about 10 years now and have 1 son. Having 1 child is a whole other post, plenty of time for that one! I also love to cook (and eat) so I am guessing there will be some food talk too.
