Winning Wednesday

Thanks everyone for your kind words and motivation is my last journal. It helped me a lot to not just give up and start doing really bad. I've been drinking tons of water and swimming and walking everyday and I'm back down to my low of 190. TOM is over :) And TOMORROW I'm jogging/walking my first 5k! I'm so excited. I'm not even worried about placing or anything like that, I'm just doing it this time to get the taste of it in my mouth. Then I'm going to start training majorly and I'll be doing another one in September in which I plan on placing in. I can feel my legs getting stronger. I've been walking everyday 5 miles up and down hills outside and still go to the gym a few days a week to hit the machines and the elliptical. Here at work in my free alone time I do squats and side leg lifts while standing and pushup leaning down against my desk (I wont get down on this nasty floor). I think I'm getting my obsession back for working out (which is awesome because I went through a nasty lazy spell for a while)

I love swimming so much and I love the summer time. We just got a pool built at my house last year so I get to swim everyday. This is our second summer with a pool. It's 40 ft long and I swim about 100 laps everyday. I also love how dark my shoulders are getting from it. I look Hispanic!

My goal this week is to just eat healthy!!!! I know what healthy is and it's time for me to stop eating junk like a little kid and choose the healthy stuff. Food should be fuel for our bodies and I want to fill my body with the best fuel there is. So this week I am going to eat lean meats, veggies, and fruit. I'll be sure to eat plenty of protein and keep my body hydrated with delicious water, all the while exercising everyday!
