2013 Here we are.....

So I sat today and read through random blogs of people who had made these great accomplishments, whether it would be weight loss, a sporting event, or something else amazing. This blog has been sitting for about a year and I think it's time we start sharing and communicating our ups and downs of Doing it For Us! I am adding a few more people in here from my Made to Crave class. The book(I actually just finished it) has been very powerful. It's made me thing about what the power of food can do to a person. I would recommend it to everyone. Here is the link: A good read and I can say that in these few Jan. days I have been using it as a tool to not eat things I shouldn't eat. I have decided that this year I want to push myself harder and further than I have in the past. I'll need some help. I tend to negative self talk myself and give up but I am hoping that I can overcome those thoughts and accomplish some goals. Today I did a 7.3 mile run. Yes, I've run further but it's been while. I was also running with some super fast people. I saw their tushies for about 2 miles and then they were gone. My friend Jen, even though she is much faster, stayed with me. When she got ahead, she would turn around and come back. I called her my rabbit but she kept me going. I've now decided I need to do more runs like that and maintain eye contact on the tushies for a longer period of time. We all need people like Jen to keep us motivated. Let me know how everyone is doing! It's been awhile!
