Back on track!

OK so about a month ago I made a decision... a goal... for my 40th birthday I want to complete a 5k. My 40th birthday will be July 14, 2011. That gives me over a year to get ready for it - plenty of time! I decided to start slow by walking everyday... a little more as I could and build up slowly. I started walking the next morning. I only walked for 10 minutes because that is all I could do. As that day went on I started feeling bad and was starting to have trouble breathing. I couldn't goo for a walk the next day or the next. Day by day after that I started feeling worse and worse and started having more problems. Finally it got to the point that I couldn't walk from one room to the next without being totally out of breath. Went to the doctor and he said the words I didn't want to hear. "Asthma Attack". Oh man I haven't had any problems with asthma for at least 5 years! Unbelievable that I was just talking about doing a 5k and now I can't walk from one room to another without having to catch my breath. ridiculous!!

It's been a month now since I took that morning walk and one month closer to my 40th birthday. Now I am FINALLY starting to feel better again so NOW it's time to get serious!! Time to cook healthily (is that a word?) and measure foods and write down every single thing I eat and it's time to get my butt moving and let my trainer Bob (love ya Bob!) kick my butt!!!
So friends... I'm back and I'm ready to continue on this jouney to a new and healthier me starting RIGHT NOW! 5k HERE I COME!!!
