Need Your Help...Got a plan
So as most of you know my weight loss journey has not been the easiest thing that I have ever done in my lifetime. I have had MANY ups and downs along my journey. I have hit a MAJOR wall the last few weeks and I am looking for some help. I know I have motivated a few of you all and now I need that motivation from you all.
Here is my plan.
I have 7 months until my half marathon. With my nike chip I can use the half marathon training program which takes 12 weeks. So I will be starting that program in November. So from August 1st to November 15th I am challenging myself to loose 35 pounds. That will be my goal weight of 150 pounds. So that 3 ½ months.
This is where I need all of your help. I am looking for encouragement, motivation, support and basically a reality check at times. I need challenges. I sometimes loose focus of what I am really trying to do. And thats where I think I have been these last few months.
So what I am going to do is get back to the basics. Back to where I started. Back to eating like I did when I was loosing 2 pounds a week. Back to being positive and going in the right direction.
I have a workout plan, an eating plan and now I am just asking for some motivation and encouragement. Shoot me an email, a text message, a fb comment, a fb message. Anything.
Thank you all so much for the love and support that I have received so far!

Anna - I have been in your shoes! Encouragement is one of the most important things to keep me going, especially on my long runs while I train for my marathons (whether full or half).
I send text messages to my kids and my husband while I'm running. My message to them usually say something about 1/2 way point, or 5 miles down - 4 to go...whatever. And they send back encouragement to me, "Keep going" or "You show that pavement who is boss!"
Believe me, you can run with your phone. I have RaceReady capri and running skirts which have pockets on the backside of them. (Makes it easy to store your phone, hankerchief & GU packs too!) You can also buy a cheap ipod arm band and stick your phone in that to strap to you...or shove in your sports bra. (I have MANY a friends who do this.)
I found that even when I have encouragement BEFORE a long run, nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to a dose of encouragement DURING my run! So with that said, send me a text when you need encouragement to get your butt out the door or during those tedious runs.
You got this Anna!
