I used to run about 15 years ago. I was running up to 5 miles a day but life and children got in the way so I quit running. Then not to long after my melt down, you know the one that I posted here, I went out with some friends. And there she was (cue evil bitch music), my nemesis. This is the girl that my first husband had an affair with. It has been almost about 10 years since I saw her last. She still looked exactly like she did back then. She still had that tiny figure. I have never felt insecure around women but for some reason this woman intimidates me. I went home that night and looked in the mirror and hated what I saw. So the next morning, I woke up and decided it was time to lose some weight.
I bought a scale and stepped on it for the first time in a long time. I weighed 130lbs and for my small 5'2" tall tiny frame, it didn't look good on me. I then downloaded a program called Couch to 5k on my phone. This program is a 9 week program that by the end you should be doing a 5k. I also downloaded some great music and away I went. Oh yea, did I mention that I also gave up any drinks with sugar in them. I gave up sodas and sweet tea. Yep, I am now among the water and unsweet tea drinkers. I also changed my eating habits. I wasn't going to give up my favorite foods. I am just not that dedicated. I had read somewhere that most people eat till they are full but they should eat till they are not hungry anymore. So that is what I do now. It took some getting use to but now I don't have to think about it. But as of last week, I now weigh 112 and if I do say so myself, I look damn good.
I didn't want that girl to be my only motivator. So I decided that I was going to buy a bikini as soon as I reached my goal. And I bought my bikini right before 4th of July.
Oh and about that girl, I saw her a couple weeks ago and that was the first time she didn't intimidate me.
