The Journey begins...

Woo HOO!! I did it... almost 2 completed months into 2008 but I finally managed to get a date with my treadmill & I showed up, too! New MOTTO from here forward is... NO MORE EXCUSES!! New life plan begins NOW!!

So, this morning I actually completed the first day of the C25K Program... I originally got this idea from a wonderful & hilarious blogger located HERE who has become a daily must have/read who led me to another blogger located HERE who gave me additional Inspiration & motivation to finally Get.OFF.The.COUCH!! (Also a daily read to carry on the motivation!! Keep up the good work, JKW!) So, I did it... & I am still BREATHING! & I have a whole new look out on the week & it's MONDAY! (Previously always a BAD day after completing 24 plus hrs of work in 2 days) Matter of fact... this has brought me to the NEW LIFE Plan....
#1- At least 8 hrs of sleep per night
#2- Breakfast, everyday (Also to eat sensible but NO Diet)
#3- Exercise... (C25K)
#4- Shower... everyday! (No judging here please... FT job from home M-F, plus 2boys, sports, ETC)
#5- Only work 8 hrs a day... (Seems simple enough but being at home it often takes 10-12 hrs just to get that accomplished!)
#6- Spend quality time with MY GUYS every evening!

(Oh, Yeah... I probably should also list on here to Cut Off my Drug of Choice....
You guessed it... DR PEPPER!! But hey... 1 body can only take so much change!!) I will limit to 1 a day & get back to H2O!!

Hopefully, this will make me feel better & find the JOY that most of you remember! :o) Plus also help me take off an additional 20lbs & I might even look more like the JOY you know & the one I am so much more comfortable with!! (I mean, Seth is about to turn 3... can't really still be using that excuse, can I? & Since he's almost lost all his baby fat... maybe I should too!) ;o)

OK... I am going to stop before I get waayyy too ahead of myself! I know it was only 30+ min on the treadmill.... so don't burst my bubble here! I WILL be back before the end of the week with updates! (Provided I can still walk! He He) Oh & another bonus... Steven joined me on the journey & he also completed his first day too! How cool is that?? Truly my life partner & Best Friend E.V.A.H! Hopefully we both will be SMOKIN' HOT by summer! (OK... realistically, I will settle with healthy & great role models to the boys!)

Until next time....
