Spark Your Way to a 5K

Today I've started a new challenge on Spark People called Spark Your Way to a 5K. I'm doing the rookie program for walking because I KNOW that If I try to run a 5K that I'll probably pass out. I've taken a break on the whole dieting things lately but I'm ready to get back on. I haven't gained any but I also haven't lost any and I'm horribly out of shape. 

New goal for this time around is just 10 lbs gone by August 15, 2011. It's doable.. lets just see if I'll actually do it ;) 

Today I did pretty good. Went under on my carbs but considering I have hardly anything healthy in my kitchen, and we ate out tonight, I still didn't go over my limit. I'm about to head out for my first 15 minutes of walking. I was considering the treadmill but I'm tired of staying in the house. Plus when everyone else is already sleeping the treadmill seems incredibly loud in our itty bitty house.  

I'm very optimistic this time around. I'm tired of always being tired and there is this weird thing going on with my heels. I'm thinking it's from the pressure of my weight being on my feet that make my heels hurt constantly. Anytime I walk it feels like I have hundreds of needles shoved into my bone. First thing in the morning it's about 10x as worse. This is the reason why my first goal is 10lbs. This way if I get some weight off and the pressure/hurt goes away, I know what the problem is and I can continue to fix it. If not, atleast I've lost something and look better ;) 

I'm going to quit yapping and go do my walk.

Until next time,

Steph
