First Race in 5 Years



So I've done it. I've registered for a 5Km race in August. After finding this little gem online how could I not want to be a part of it. The icing was on the cake so to speak when Groupon had a one day registration sale for only $20.00. Done and done...well it will be done in August but you get my point. I bought it without hesitation. Now all I have to do is start running again. Hahaha. And find a white shirt to wear for the race. But I think I'll wait until closer to the race date as my measurements (see below) are still on  a steady decline. I want to make sure these clothes are going to fit me because it really sucks to have to keep on pulling up on your shorts.

I was feeling a bit down because last week was my very first week where instead of a loss I gained. It was also the end of the first couple of weeks on a diet shake system. Let's just say I knew it wouldn't work before I bought it. Why did I buy it then do you ask. Well I bought it because I know not one but two people who went on it and they lost crazy amounts of weight and inches right away. Like 9 pounds in one week kind of crazy. So I've put it aside, discontinued my membership with them and have gone back to using myfitnesspal app. At least now I'm eating real food again and more importantly inches and pounds are going back in the direction I would like to see them going. Not as fast as I would like to see, but hey, "Slow and steady wins the race" right?
