My Event

Posted by SLauer00 May 14, 2008

Well, I am getting ready for my upcoming event.  I am very excited to say that I am preparing to participate in the Strides for SIDS walk/run. I will either do the 1 mile walk or the 5k run. I feel like this will be a big reward for all of my hard work the past few months. My weight is down and my energy is up. I think this is such a great event and I can't wait to do it. I have been sick now for the third time in 2 months, so I may not be able to run 5k, but I will definitely get out there and walk.  I am also looking to do a more intense run/walk in June.  I am down to 2 months left before my wedding so I need to kick myself in to high gear. I know I can continue on this healthy lifestyle and this event illustrates my commitment. I am hoping that a few friends and family will be able to participate with me, which makes this even more special. I will keep you posted about my health and future events.  The support from my friends, family, and fellow bloggers has been great. I appreciate all of the kind words!

List of Priorities

Posted by SLauer00 May 1, 2008

Well my list of priorities is constantly changing.  Now that the wedding is only 2 months away, things are getting crazy. I used to go to the gym every day at 4pm and I loved the routine. Now my 4pm slot is taken up by wedding cake appointments, church meetings, ordering flowers, making invitations, etc. I am having a hard time fitting in a workout these days.  I was doing so good until I got sick and things started piling up. My biggest mistake was eating fast food for the first time in 4 months. Those french fries tasted AMAZING!! I felt guilty after I ate it, but it tasted so good. I thought I would have gained weight from eating poorly, but I didn't. Knowing that I didn't gain weight from eating fast food, I decided to eat it again a week later. Now I am really struggling to eat healthy AND get back in the gym. I know I have come so far and my wedding isn't that far away, but its harder than ever. For some reason, its been harder to get motivated now then it was when I first started. I know I just need to get my act together but its really hard. I could use all of the help and motivation I can get!!!
