Yea To Fresh Starts

So I started running again! Last night my parents brought their old treadmill for me. They joined a gym so they don't need it anymore. I ran this morning and then I did Pilate's. I feel great! I know tonight I will be so tired, but I don't care. I am doing a walk/run method as outlined by Jeff Galloway. I think it's a great cardio workout, more so than just running. Any hoo, I'll keep ya posted as to my progress. This time there is no turning back, I only have 14 weeks left until the 1/2 marathon. I know I'm crazy!

Breast feeding

Ok, so I haven't been really great on the eating and I haven't been really great on the exercise, yet somehow I am loosing weight. I've thought about this all morning and have come to the conclusion that breast feeding is a great way to supplement my weight loss. My son loves to eat. He loves to eat as long as it's me, and as long as he eats, he is eating a ton. So I figure that he is eating all the extra off me. He did this when I was pregnant with him too. I lost 15 lbs before I actually started to gain weight. Now you may be asking yourself the same question I did today. "If I am loosing weight just by breast feeding than when I stop all that weight can come back on, AND if I exercise and eat better than I will loose weight faster and be in better shape with a less likely chance of gaining it back so fast." Now all I have to do is implement it....There is the real challenge.

what motivation

Well, I ran another 5k. I'm not doing very good. I did finish and I did do a good time considering it was mostly uphill and I was pushing a baby in a non jogging stroller. Still I really need to get my butt in gear and get going if I'm not going to die this Jan. when I attempt to run a 1/2 marathon. I wish it wasn't so hard to stay motivated.
