I've got menu planning done for the week, I've been using my <a href="http://www.myfitnesspal.com/">MyFitnessPal</a> app to track my caloric intake (I'm shooting for 1,200 calories per day) and I've got my iPhone updated with the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/c25k-couch-to-5k/id301233668?mt=8">Couch to 5k app</a> and freshly downloaded playlists that I found via my internet-friend <a href="http://www.nannersp.com/2010/04/aint-nothing-going-to-break-my-stride.html">Nanette's blog</a>. I'm really loving the ones that are found on <a href="http://gonicoleyourself.blogspot.com/2008/06/couch-to-5k-podcast-page.html">Go Nicole Yourself</a>. Definitely looking forward to a nice variety of music to help me get my butt in gear.<br /><br />So here goes nothing!<br /><br />Thanks for joining me on my journey!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(image<a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3719097163_6fd7afcbd5.jpg"> source</a>)</span>{katrina}http://www.blogger.com/profile/01063852683957735529noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730791506399183705.post-71959391007205816712010-04-27T11:14:00.000-07:002010-04-27T11:26:06.393-07:00The BeginningI’m on a quest to let my inner skinny chick run free!<br /><br />It’s now been 25 months since I birthed the most beautiful child on this planet (I am slightly biased), and my weight has done nothing but increase. I’m the biggest I’ve ever been <strong><em>in.my.enitre.life</em></strong>.<br /><br />I'm not happy. Period.<br /><br />I’ve failed at weight loss so many times this year, and I’m done. I’m sick of being this girl stuck in a 14-16 body. It’s time to drop this weight and get back into shape not only for myself, but for my daughter.<br /><br />65 pounds is a lot of weight to lose, but I <span style="font-style: italic;">know </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">I </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">can</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">do it</span>!<br /><br />I plan to journal along the entire way…my highs & lows; my struggles & triumphs. I know this is going to be hard, but I deserve it…my daughter deserves it!<br /><br />So, here goes nothing….here’s to unleashing my Inner Skinny Girl!<br /><br />Here's my starting point. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to disclose my weight. I'm too ashamed to right now.<br /><br /><img src="http://images2e.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp5383%3B%3Enu%3D3893%3E536%3E253%3EWSNRCG%3D32%3B83535%3A%3A344nu0mrj" />{katrina}http://www.blogger.com/profile/01063852683957735529noreply@blogger.com2
