It's been awhile, but don't think I have forgotten about ya'll (notice the Texan slang inserted here)! No I am not a Texan but I am practicing to be one in the near future. Welll folks I may not have been blogging but I sure have been trying to stay on the straight and narrow. I went back to school after Spring Break and was trying to find my groove. the first week was difficult because I could not figure out how I was going to be a mom to four kids, teach all day, and work out and eat right. I won't even lie to you, the first week I was giving in to my old ways. I have always fallen into this mindset...I overeat or eat something not so healthy and immediately tell myself one of two things, "I will start again tomorrow because tonight I am just gonna pig out" or "Well I will ALWAYS be fat I may as well just eat whatever I want". So needless to say, I ran one day the first week back to school and then something happened...my AUNT DEBBIE! My Aunt Debbie is a health fanatic and lover of all things physical fitness. She works out all the time, eats great and has more energy than anyone I have ever met. She loaded me with all kinds of information and motivation when I went to visit and she sent me on my way. I have started up a new training program to help me reach my goal of RUNNING an entire 5K. I know a 5K is only 3.1 miles, but 3.1 miles is alot of miles to me. Right now that is what I am reaching for and hope to be ready in about 6 or 7 more weeks. I am running around 2.5 miles each day (walking is included, don't get it twisted) and I have dropped down this morning to 208.5. I have lost 4.5 pounds since I have been blogging, and I am purrrty proud of myself. I could have probably done better if I wouldn't have been such a SCHMUCK, but I am down anyway. I have to admit I have been flirting with 210 for a few weeks before starting my blog, and had myself almost convinced that I would not get below that. I now have a new weigh goal, "get below 200". Setting the goal smaller is more doable for me and I know I can. I cannot tell you how accountable I feel knowing there are some of you out there following and know EXACTLy how much my behind weighs. Candy Craig you really put a fire under my butt to get this blog up this week and I truly appreciate it! Thank you MAYJAH ladies for being on my team! Now get your butts in gear too! Let me know what you are doing to make your body healthier..DISH!

Me on my jog yesterday! Running and taking a photo is not an easy task.
