Ok, you've probably noticed I haven't posted anything since last Feb. My husband came home from a year long deployment and for some unknown reason I stopped working out and eating right. There is something to be said for having a spouse in another country to motivate you to look great when they come home. Sadly, Chris brings out the worst in me when it comes to eating. I never eat much when he isn't around, but late night movies and Pei Wei are a common occurrence when he is home. For those of you who haven't seen Chris he is 175lbs and can and does eat anything and everything. His goal weight is 180, which he has tried his best to reach since we got married. My goal has always been to weigh less than him. It wasn't easy when he weighed 130 on our wedding day and is still my goal even though he weighs 175.
Like everyone else in Jan I'm beginning again to loose that pesky, "baby weight" that has plagued me for the past 16 years. This time however I hope having running goals will give me something to look forward to and challenge me into being consistent. At least that is what I'm telling myself. Wish me luck. Also, for anyone who wants to join me I'm starting the couch to 5k program today and eventually by this time next year I hope to have at least one 5k, 10k, Half Marathon & two full Marathons completed. After all whats the point in making small goals ;)

Are you running on your treadmill for the 5k training? Good luck with your goals. I know you can do it if you really want it.
I hear you about having a hard time sticking to the good eating with a husband around. Kenneth says he will be supportive, but when I say I want some dessert he is always up for it. I need him to be the strong one and say no. Kenneth weighed less than I did when we got married. He was such a skinny sucker. Thank goodness I have been able to help him gain weight. I do enjoy having him weigh more than me. I've had plenty of times throughout our marriage when I weighed more than him. I'm certain though that eating is the key, which sucks for me because I could exercise all day, but don't ask me to give up my ice cream. I'm going to do better this year, for sure.
Good for you, Burg! I'm thinking about maybe running again once the weather warms up, but certainly not until then. I did get a Wii and Wii Fit Plus for Christmas, so that's what I'm doing for now! Good luck!
