My metabolism hates me

Getting older, getting larger…. that seems to be happening to me as of late… At first I refused to go up a size in clothes, because I was determined to wear the same high school/college sizes I have been wearing for forever. But lets face it, not going to happen!!! Dave and I eat dinner together every evening, but it’s not always home cooked, we order our fair share of delivery and take out. So last week I decided I would try something new, Weight Watchers. It’s not that I think I am really fat, I just feel unhealthy and I know I could stand to lose a few lbs. Well, I learned something about myself last Tuesday, WW is not for me, after feeling like I was STARVING all day long, I devoured half of the Taco Bell menu for dinner that night.

Now I have decided that I need to stop being lazy and work out regularly, not only for my physical well being but for my cholesterol, and future health benefits! I never seem to be able to stick to a gym routine, laziness keeps me from getting there. I like to run, I am no good at it, but when I work hard I can do 3 miles easily. I also have been known to set goals for half marathons, and quit about 2 weeks into trainings… WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! So this time, I decided I will just run, without a goal, just get outside and run at LEAST 3 or 4 times a week. To entice myself, I headed to sports authority to get some new running gear, a few new sleeveless tops for the heat, and more shorts. I also purchased a heart rate monitor online that I am really excited about! I need to learn more about how exactly to use it… Here it is, its pretty much the cutest thing I could find!

So, why am I sharing this information with the internet? I need to be held accountable… I wish I had a running partner, but no one else likes to run :( Anyone want to be internet running partners~? :)
