Do I really want to do this?

Well here it goes.  I hope I don't regret this.  If you only knew how many before pictures I have taken, it would blow your mind.  Mine is blown that I keep taking them!  The goal is to finally get to the point where I am taking my final after picture.  Maintenance mode is something I would like to be in!

Here is my before pic.  There may have been a few tears shed after seeing these.  I don't feel like I look like this until I see pictures.  I plan on wearing this outfit once a month and posting the pics so we can all see the progress I am making.

I have seen pics like this on Pinterest and I think it is so cute.  So while I am getting smaller my baby will be getting bigger.  This little man is going to be a chunk!  He is only two months old here and about 16 lbs?  I don't know, we go to the doctor in a couple days for his check up.  I plan on taking a pic like this once a month as well. 

After taking my before pics, shedding a few tears, playing a little Just Dance in that outfit and having my six year old laugh at me because my butt was jiggling so much we headed to the park to so I could start C25K.

It's humbling to think that last October I ran a marathon in 4:20:00.  Ten months later I am struggling to run for one minute at a time!  I know I will get back to where I was it just sucks.  My knees were pretty sore and it was super hot but I did it and I ran every time I was supposed to and for the whole time.  

My Goals for the week are:

• complete the first week of C25K
• Eat Clean...as possible
• Drink lots of water
• One treat for the week

Well I am going to press publish.  Here goes to inspiring myself to step it up and anyone else who would like to join me on this journey.
