Couch to 5k

So tomorrow I am starting my 8 week couch to 5k training for a 5k I am doing in Martin, TN for my sorority (AOTT). I have mixed emotions about it!

After high school I guess I just thought I would keep my athletic build forever.. But reality set it after I just kept gaining weight... I would do a couple crash diets here and there and lose 10 to 20 pounds and then gain it back plus some. I am now, embarrassed to say, the biggest I have ever been. People keep saying, "you're not fat, love who you are" and "you're pretty, stop saying your over weight"... I realize I am a child of God an that God doesn't make ugly things but He also expects us to take care of our bodies and I have failed to do so.

In these next 8 weeks I will be preparing my body, mind and heart for this 5k at the end of September and I would appreciate all the support you can give!

My problem right now is energy.. I would rather nap and lay around than get out and train and be active. It's a difficult struggle but the struggle is real! I believe that as I begin to get in shape, she'd unwanted/unnecessary pounds I will begin to feel better about myself and have more energy!

Prayers and support are welcome and if anyone wants to do this with me, I'd love to have a partner!

I plan to blog as often as possible thru these next 8 weeks!

Here we go.... =]
