The road to a better me ...

I've always been self conscious and worried about my weight. I even look back now at my "skinnier self" and I can hardly believe I thought I was "fat" ... I now dream to be that size again. Alas working all day sitting behind a desk is not the perfect formula to lose weight. Then when I get home at 5:30-6 I'm exhausted and do I really feel like going for a run in the scorching heat ... no way! I've been a lot less motivated post wedding but now I've put on those extra few pounds again and its time to just suck it up. I know I'll never be able to motivate myself to play tennis for 3 hours and then run 4 miles, and then I don't have the time to do that either. I usually have enough time and energy for a 2-3 mile run. Phil and I have decided to start going back to the gym so he can ride some bikes and swim for his knee and we can start lifting weights again. I never realized how important it was to have cardio and weights ... mostly since I hate them! hahaha... But it made me feel better to lift and especially awesome the day after when I can't lift my arms (Not!). Tomorrow morning is Day 1 back to the gym and back to a better me. I'm happier when I feel thin and healthy and in shape. I also realized post college I can't do it all just working out ... its gotta be cardio, weights, and eating right. Time to pack in the fruits and salads, give up the chips and chocolate ... and maybe treat myself to a pair of some hot new running shoes :)
