Drop 13 - Big Cottonwood Half Marathon

I decided to make a few changes in my life. I need to be healthier and lose weight. I thought about something I thought I could never do. I thought I could never do a half marathon, well the truth is I thought I would never be able to do a 5k. I have been looking into a "healthy weight", those say I need to lose like 65 pounds. I know that if I lost that much that I would be way too thin.

Goals over the next 8 months:

-Start running about 10 to 15 miles per week increasing by 3-5 miles every week.
-First Goal Weight Loss: 35 pounds
-Eat healthier. (Not necessarily cut out everything bad buy reduce what I currently have).

I want to have another baby and I want to be healthier the next time around. I know that my husband loves me for who I am and he always tells me how much he loves me just the way I am. But I want to do this for me.

I saw a story recently on people.com about a woman who lost 160 pounds and documented the changes in photos on her iphone. I don't think anyone reads my blog so I thought I would post a post each week of myself just documenting my journey to reach these goals. The series of photos are in changing rooms as she tried on new clothes. I don't get to go to the store very often because I have a son and a husband but I will try.

Week One:
