And We're Off!

Here's the deal:  I looooove food.  I love food so much I just can't seem to stop eating it.  All I want to do some days is stuff Reese's in my mouth two at a time and wash them down with a huge DMD (Diet Mountain Dew....because since it's diet it is OK right???).  When I say huge, I really mean huge.  So huge it requires grabbing the cup with both hands.  I am hoping by creating this blog and posting about my daily life I can become more accountable.  More accountable with what I eat and more accountable for making sure I exercise on regular basis. 

Since January 2013, I have lost about 30lbs.  I did this by eating relatively "clean" a majority of the time.  I also lost the weight because I started running.  I ran the Cleveland Half Marathon in May of this year and my second half in September when I ran the Akron Half Marathon.  See the thing is, I actually love working out.  I love/hate running.  I love lifting weights.  I love Tae Bo.  I just sometimes turn into a lazy slug and revert back to my fatty days where I lay around eating and wearing sweatpants all day.   Thus the reason why my weight has been a roller coaster ride since I was younger.

I am ready to get off the ride now.  I want to knock off these remaining pesky pounds and stop this cycle!  Who is with me???
