Getting Back in Shape!

Over the past year or so, I've been really unhappy with my body and weight.  I've kind of become one of those people who complain about how I look, but then I don't really do anything to fix it.  It's become somewhat of a trend for me to hop on the "My Fitness Pal" bandwagon for a couple weeks or so, then let it go for a few months.  In doing this, I've never really made enough of a commitment to see any results.

I decided I'm over that.  

I recently committed to doing a marathon relay with some coworkers on October 20th.  I'm really determined to do a good job because I'm on a team with people who are all better runners than I am.  To help get myself into shape, I've set a goal for myself.  During the month of September, I'm going to try to exercise in some form EVERYDAY.  I know that life gets busy, so I'm going to define "exercise" as some type of physical activity for 20 minutes or more: walking, running, exercise videos, etc.  

To hold myself accountable, I'm going to keep a log of my exercise on this blog.  Here's what I've done so far:

8/26 - Walk with dog and hubby 3 miles

8/28 - Walk with dog and hubby 1.88 miles

8/30 - Walk/Run with dog and hubby 3 miles

9/1 - Ran 2.56 miles

9/2 - Ran 2.15 miles

Total mileage for the week - 12.59 miles

Hoping I can keep this up!  I'm thinking it's time to buy some new shoes!
