DOAFGGS Entry 1 - May 1, 2010

As I was at my spinning class this morning, I decided that I want to run a half marathon. I've been working out with a friend now for about a month and I haven't seen results. That is because I haven't been counting calories like I should have been. I also took a week off from this weight loss girl during Spring Break, in which I devoured about 7 margaritas for 3 nights in a row.

We all know that when you want to lose weight, taking a week off doesn't work. (Especially when you only started about two weeks previous.)

I've been trying to ditch the flab my entire life. Literally, since I was about 10 years old, I've realized that it's not pretty to be fat. And I've "tried" to change it for about 14 years now. My attempts have been completely half-ass and pathetic based on any standards.

So I'm thinking, if I start training for a 1/2 marathon, there are no excuses. And if I publicize the fact I plan on running a 1/2 marathon in October, then there is absolutely no excuses. If I didn't publicize this, I would be disappointed in myself, but because I am publicizing it, there would be at least one other person disappointed in me if I didn't run this race.

So, here we go........
