Trim Down Tuesday... I'm motivated by cheerleaders... so come cheer me on, pretty please!


It's BACK! I'm participating in a Skinny Jeans Experiment and trying to fit back into my jeans after a really rough winter. So I decided the accountability of posting my pics every week on the blog and my progress will help keep me going. My main goal is to start and complete the C25k program and at least go for a walk or do some form of exercise on my off days. I'm starting the running program today and doing it on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. This will give me one day of the week that I can go out by myself instead of pushing a jogging stroller with the kids. I can't wait because one of my goals this year was to run a 10K in 2010 and it's not looking so hopeful that I'll be doing it at the rate I've been going at it. Anyways, unlike last time where I got bored and skipped ahead in the program which ended up hurting my hips, I plan to stick to it even if it's boring for the first few weeks. I'm determined not to get injured this time. I also need to look for some 5K races to sign up and keep me motivated to complete this. I forgot how much I NEED to run and am hoping it will help to get me out of my funk. Ok, so I got a fresh new battery for my scale and did my first weigh-in... will you cheer me on?
excuse the butt wedgie and the pantylines, lol but I wanted to put on my skinny jeans to see myself eventually fit into them... and really... I'm hoping by the end of this experiment that they'll be saggy and I'll have to buy a new pair of skinny jeans :)

I will cheer you on! Go, Heather, Go! I've been on a weight-loss journey myself since January. It is coming off very slowly, but I'm making progress.

Good luck! I would suggest seeing if your gym has any free aerobic class. I've start Zumba once a week and its a nice add in to the walking/running!
