Well, I'm back...again...for the third time.
The first time I did good. I was here for quite a few months and ended up losing about 25lbs. I was proud of myself. Then I moved and things quickly went downhill in my life and I just didn't focus on eating healthy or working out anymore. I started again, but then, once again, life knocked me down.
This time I am back, and I am back for good!
Every time that I have been here my only goal was just to lose weight and be healthier. While that is a good goal, it obviously was just not enough for me. This time I am tired of it. I was sick last week, and it wasn't due to a cold, it was because I wasn't eating ANYTHING healthy. It literally made me sick.
This time, I have a goal! On October 6th I am going to be running in the Color Me Rad 5K (Once I get registered, just out of college breaks my bank) I just started the C25K today and my goal is to be down at least 20lbs by October 6.
My first 3 days I am doing a 'cleanse'. I want to get all the bad things out of my system and start new!

This time I have a goal and I'm wanting to get a good support system on here to help me. People that will help me (no I don't need anyone to hold my hand), but keep me accountable. Will notice if it comes up and says I've been gone for 3 days. Or if I've slipped a coke into my diary. I'm not going to lie to myself or anyone. If it goes in my mouth, it gets logged.

I'm waiting to post any sort of picture until I hit my first goal, 10lbs.
My ultimate goal is to be in the 145-150 range. I'm 5'3", but I am a medium built girl. I'm starting out right now at 194. I want to be at, at least 175 by race day.

So yeah, that's that.!
Nice to meet everyone!

    Welcome back! Nice to meet you! :) And I wish you the best of luck with all your goals. Color run sounds fun. We dont have those here, to my knowledge.

    Welcome! I was also going to do The Color Run in TN in October, but I won't be in state at the time!! You can do it! The C25K is a great program! Add me if you like!
  • Thanks, today was my first day of the cleanse and so far, so good. It's also my first day of the C25K.
