Back at it!

So here is the old me...in all my 257 lbs. glory!!

 I know this is answering the question we were all asking...so just how chunky is this chick??  Well lets be honest...it ain't so hot!!!    This picture was taken on a family vacation to the Bahamas, and I love the no parking sign on the porch with the rocking chair!  Story of my life!!!  Since I started 2 weeks ago really going at it with eating better and exercise, I have lost 6.5 lbs.  I never thought I would ever publish my starting weight to anyone...but if I don't hold myself accountable and try to hide it, I don't see myself ever making progress.

So this is the beginning of week three for my working out and becoming a healthier me.  
The "skinny" on today's workout:  I am started from ground ZERO with this whole running thing, and have thought all along...this will never work.  Today I had to take back a Redbox movie to Harris Teeter that is not quite a mile from our house.  Well instead of getting my butt in my car and driving it there, I decided to walk/jog it back.  I jogged for 4/10ths of a mile straight...which is my most yet!  I ended up jogging more than walking throughout the whole thing and loved it!  1.6 mile workout today and after getting some water and hanging out for a bit, I feel like I could go again!!  I am so loving this whole having energy thing!

**Just a side note, you will notice I love to use !!!!!!...its not because I am yelling at you, I just get excited when I type sometimes, and a period seems so boring!**
