Finally!

Well i finished the cleanse and kept on with keeping junk food (including processed sugar and flour/wheat) away. The junkiest food ive eaten is french fries - twice  over 3 weeks time. Combined with my regular exercise (5-7 times per week) and eating roughly 1300-1500 cals per day, i am down 6.5lbs already.

I have found my willpower and motivation and i feel great! (Aside from the headache issue lol) ...ive overcome some moments where id typically have eaten such and such or had a drink of pop, etc, and I have been able to pass it by.

Its taken years but im happy to be at this point....im hoping to be able to look back at this post for support and future motivation that it is doable!

Spartan race

So in august I have chosen to run the spartan 5km race. Its a race that includes challenging obstacles through out. My good friend and neighbor is also going to do the same race (plus some other people I know). Its going to be challenging but fun!

Anyways I have decided that there will need to be some training involved in order to do this race. My same friend/neighbor and I belong to the same rec center and we do workout videos together,  since deciding to do this race we have increased our workout regime together - I love having a motivating buddy to work with and its an equal drive (I've worked with people who werent in it as much as me and always fizzled out). Anyways...we have been working out together awhile but now I am able to combine good food choices and working out and hope to see results in my own body with my training for this race.

I just finished the wild rose cleanse and I feel great! I qas off processed sugar and most fruits and all wheat/flour for 12 days and I'm hoping to push thru as long as I can without Indulging in junk!

I've started using my fitness pal to do some tracking and ive got a network of friends on that too :-)

This is the year! I figured since I don't plan to be pregnant for at least awhile (I'd like to give my body a few months break) then I'm going to get into shape! My goal is 20 - 25 lbs and firm up in certain areas :-) and I want to be able to run 5km on thr track in 30 mins and outside in 45.
