I finally realized today just what I have gotten myself into. That's not to say that I'm not still ready to accomplish my goal, but it definitely made me stop and think. Judging by the responses I have gotten from friends and family I will have a lot of support along the way, and I am incredibly thankful for that. I still need to talk to a few "experts" on some of the steps that I need to take to help me better accomplish my goal, but I am mentally prepared to start my workouts the right way.
Couldn't work out at lunch today at work like I have been, but I did get a workout in when I got home. Didn't really feel like doing it, but I can't start skipping days with only 9 months and a lot of work to be done between now and the marathon. It looks like some of my co-workers are going to start a "Biggest Loser" competition at work. This will be a good additional motivation for me, and will also force me to diversify my workouts so that I can reshape my entire body. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing a pillsbury doughboy looking back at me.
Below are some pictures that some people that are reading this blog may not like. This will be my one and only "warning" about the pictures that I will be posting on this blog from time to time. You may not like the pictures, but I HATE them. However, it's nothing more than what I look like in a bathing suit. This blog is for ME though, and I need to keep myself motivated throughout the process. I'm hoping that by posting these pictures, hating them, and doing weekly weigh-ins of myself that I will start to see some results. That's what the following pictures are for. They aren't pretty, but I am a work in progress, and nothing will ever be perfect. I'm going to strive each and everyday to change the person in the mirror looking back at me.

i took pics before starting Insanity over the summer. It's SO helpfuly because even though the scale might not move as fast as you'd like, inches will still come off by keeping up with a routine and the pictures will keep you motivated.
Yeah, I was pretty surprised with myself when I actually posted these. Knew if I didn't then I wouldn't keep going. need to motivate myself everyday!
