A little about me!
I have been overweight my whole life and have tried to lose weight several times. My daughter was born January 14, 2008 and after a year of watching her grow I finally decided once and for all I am going to lose weight. Although it took me a little over a year to reach that point on am well on my weigh (yes I know it is the wrong way). February 11 marked the start of the new Scott. At the first weigh in I tipped, cracked, and punished the scale to the tone of an even 400 pounds. Which some might say is not a lot, but keep in mind I am only six feet tall. I am proud to say that as of today I have lost 76 pounds and weigh 324 pounds. I am little under halfway to my goal of 175 pounds.
However, I have set another goal and that is to run in a 5K race this year. This week marked the start of training for that event which will take place November 15. Although I have done some form of cardio at least 5 days a week since February, I was a little surprised at the difference between a treadmill and the sidewalks in my neighborhood. Also, keep in mind I live in Arkansas and there are some hills here. I don’t care what incline a treadmill has it is still different then running outside. The best thing about running outside is that I push myself harder. The reason I say that is becuase I change the scenary along with routes and looking at the watch all of the time. I have given myself plenty of time to train and feel confident that I will meet my goals.
