Back at it :)

This week I've started my running again :)  It's been SO hard not to be able to run.  It's now hard TO run, but it makes me feel so good when I'm done.  I can't wait until I am back to where I had left off - at about a 71/2 min. mile pace - in fact I'd like to cut some time off of that eventually.  For now I've got to accept my 10 1/2 min. pace :/  I have decided to give myself until June 12th to loose all of my baby weight.  I've got a bad addiction to sugar that I've GOT to beat....I'm not getting any younger and can't depend on just my running to keep me in shape, and at the weight I want to maintain.  I'm not very good at eating healthy.  It's not that I don't like veggies and fruit, it's just that I really don't want to eat it.  I'd much rather eat chocolate for lunch :) .  I know - not healthy at all!  So, because I want to be that 70 year old lady you see trotting down the street, I've GOT to start taking better care of myself.  I've not done very well as of yet, but from what I've read a sugar addiction is just as hard to overcome as any other addition to bad substances.  What I need to do is to go cold turkey...I really don't have very good will power however, so I'll do my best.  I've bought myself some gum so that anytime I get a craving I can pop some gum into my mouth to try to help.  I also read that often you think that you're hungry, when really you're just thirsty.  So I'll try drinking some water 1st (which I'm not good at either) and see if that was what I actually needed.  I'm also going to put a pair of my skinny jeans on my dresser, and a jar with the number of stones in there as I have pounds to loose just to give me some visual reminders of what I want to achieve.  I'm going to buy myself a new pair of shoes as soon as all of those stones..those pounds..are gone.  THAT should be all the motivation I need, right?   Wish me luck!
