A Fat Girls Journey to 5k

Well as we all know...I lasted exactly 14 days before I couldn't juice fast any longer...since then I have gained all the weight back and feel like crap.  Since I am a believer in the adage: if at first you don't succeed, try, try again, I'm going at it again...not the fasting, but a new weight loss/healthy living journey.  I'm starting the c2 5k program tomorrow and hope to run a 5k on September 9th  called the IronGirl Run, and a 4.5 mile run in November called the Mud and Chocolate Run.  I am really excited about this as I actually LOVE to run (when I'm not so fat).  I haven't decided on an official "diet" to follow yet, but I'm thinking I'll just cut out the nutritionless junk food that I love so much (I've already cut out Pepsi) and watch my portions.  Obviously, I'll add tons of water - which I've already been doing since giving up Pepsi a week agoI will also incorporate the fresh juicing because Lord knows it's the quickest, least painful way to get tons of great nutrients into my body.  Listen to me, I sound like a commercial!  LOL
Anyway, I'll update when I can with my running progress.  I'll be on the treadmill Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and I really want to start doing my old workout videos that I used to do when Scott was in Iraq, so I may incoorporate them on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Until next time...
