Back at it...again...

What a disaster!  My Biggest Loser challenge at work was a complete failure!  Since I last posted, I didn't lose any pounds or inches despite my strict eating habbits.  I am starting to feel a lot better physically after starting my thyroid medication.  It's been about three months and a lot of the symptoms are dwindling or gone all together.

Now feeling better, and having FREE gym access at my new job, its time to get back at it.  I signed up to do the Color Me Rad marathon in July with some friends.  It may be just a fun 5K walk/run, but I want to run it.  As such, I started the Couch to 5K program again today.  After work I dragged my butt across the office to the gym and did the half hour run PLUS 40 crunches.  It may not sound like a lot, but everyone has a starting point.

We have a 60 day corporate challenge at work.  There are company goals, team goals and personal goals.  Everyone was given a pedometer so we can count our steps and try to reach 100 000 000 steps as a whole company.  Mine is to visit the gym 24 times between now and May 31st.  That works out to three times a week for the next eight weeks.  If I stick to that, I'll be able to accomplish my personal goal and the C25K program which will get me closer to being able to run the marathon!

I feel bad that I stopped working, because I would have seen results eventually.  It's just so hard when its slow going.  I hope that all of you reading this can find a little motivation to keep moving, even if only for one day!
