Posting on Operation 100 Day 1 would have made too much sense, right?
I was reading about a chic on Facebook "Weight Off My Shoulders" that vowed to run 1000 miles in 2013. She's super close and still has 45 more days left of the year!
So this gave me the idea that what if I walked/jogged 100 miles in the next 45 days, completing on or before New Year's Eve.
Day 1 - completed with the dogs, 3.02
Day 2 - First walk of the day - 2 miles, so I need to get another mile in before the day is out
I am also going to challenge myself to do weights (dvds) for 20 days (which works out to about everyother day).
Both things are totally doable in my opinion and I feel like it's small enough steps to get the ball rolling.
Tomorrow I am running in my first 5k in a VERY long time. I'm nervous, can you believe that? I can run a 5k already and have even done 10ks and a half marathon in the past. I was also a cross county runner, so mentally I know that I got this. I'm just sooo slow. But I know that the race is just with myself and I won't be the last finisher. One foot in front of the other.

What can you do in six months?
In 6 months, 24 weeks, 180 days - what could you accomplish if you put your mind to it?
Well, I have decide that I am trying of being fat. I weigh 32 pounds more than before and nearly 60 pounds more than I did when I went to grad school. I loved what I weighed when I went to grad school and I felt that that was my "happy weight". My body maintained it and I didn't have to kill myself with exercise and calorie watching.
So I follow a lot of facebook pages about body image, fitness, eating clean, etc. What I have found to be the most important thing in this journey is that it is just with yourself. You are not anyone else - not the person who loses 5 lbs a week, not the person who only has 15 lbs to lose, you are you. My journey and challenges will hopefully follow the "typical" weight loss pattern, but I have vowed not to compare myself to anyone else. And I hope for those who reading this (anyone? bueller? bueller?), just be you. Love you. Don't beat yourself up for "getting to this point". You didn't gain it all in a day - you can't lose it all in a day.
Every journey starts with one step. Now go out there and lose that ass :)
Me at Day 1 (sorry about the messy house) - Can you find Zoey?
