Seeking Accountablity in more ways than one!

So typically resolutions are made in January with the whole new year new me crap. Never liked that idea. Just setting yourself up for failure. This year for me was about discovery, trying new things and getting healthy, did great on ALL those for a while and then fell off the block. Someone once told me you can start your day over whenever you want to... So with that said I am starting my resolutions over again with about half the year left and I am okay with that.

Admitting faults:

I am tired of being fat.. The look, the feel and toll it has taken on my 5'1 body frame. Point: Tired of being a fat ass. Time to MOVE, and make it happen!

2nd on the list: I have been smoking now for 5 years, started socially and then turned into a habit. One I enjoyed other than the smell, & the price. It has been my crutch. Not anymore. HARDEST thing I may have ever done, other than run. (More on that later) I am going Cold Turkey no drugs, patch or gum. Just want to be done. Doctor said it takes 10 days until its out of your system.... Counting the days!

The last admission today... I want to be a RUNNER! There is something freeing about putting on a pair of tennis shoes grabbing my ipod and just running. I am not a runner right now. But I will be. Found this nifty app on my phone that 'trains' with me over the course of 12 weeks. The goal is to run 20 minutes with not stopping and for some of you that's easy well not for me. So I am good with the goal, if I accomplish it before 12 weeks good for me and if not oh well.

Make a plan:

• Trying to eat cleaner.
• No fast food or eating out for a while.
• Weaning myself off of caffeine in a week.
• Run 5 days a week
• Chew lots of Gum
• Become healthy
• Kick box 3 days a week
• keep a jouranl

Accountability:

I found a person who is going to keep me accountable for all these things however she cant be everywhere all the time. I don't need a 'babysitter' I need to be encouraged.

However I feel good about these changes today because I MADE them, NO ONE else did. No mean words, or someone telling me to do it. I am doing this for ME. I really truly feel that is why I will be successful this time because, I am doing it for me.
