I've been trying to lose weight since my youngest was born almost 12 years ago. I'd lose a little but gain that back and then some. Right about now I need to lose at least 120lbs.
I've also been talking about doing the Disney 1/2 Marathon for 3 years now. I even signed up 3 years ago and never trained at all. Needless to say my follow through stinks.
In May I was diagnosed as diabetic. It was not a big suprise, as I had gestational diabetes during both my pregnancies. You would think that would have been a warning but I'm the world's greatest procrastinator.
I've decided to not focus on the past though, I can't control what I did, only what I'm doing right now. So since May I've lost 18 lbs by eating better. I just started walking. I am going to be at the starting line for the Disney 1/2!
I know I have alot of work to do, my pace is really slow about 21 min/mile. I'm hoping with weight loss, miles walked, and a little luck I won't be swept.
