Couch to 5K

So, I am not a runner. I am a fast little thing, but when it comes to running the mile or anything like that, I gas. I have no Cardio discipline! So a friend sort of sparked a challenge for me. I am going to do the the Couch to 5K and hopefully run a marathon this summer! Do you know how awesome that would be! It's like what Barney Stinson says on How I Met Your Mother "Step one, Start running.....There is no step two!" (you will soon learn I am obsessed with this show)
So I will begin this challenge tonight!

I am pretty excited about it! And I think I have suckered my brother into doing it with me! YAAAAY!

Bringin Sexy Back, the story of a real life Goddess!

Once upon a time ago, there was a girl named Trish. Trish loved to work out! She loved the energy it gave her and the results she had when she looked in the mirror. Trish loved to go shopping for clothes and pretty things made her happy! She had a beautiful tan and her hair was always done perfect. She got a full 9 hours of sleep, had a job she loved, had aspirations of becoming a Radiologic Technologist and eventually a Sonographer. She had freedom to pursue her hobbies and to donate time to charities!

One day Trish and her handsome husband found out they were being blessed by a beautiful baby! Trish was so excited! She made beautiful things for her new baby! She loved this baby before she even got here. The first time Trish held her brand new baby girl she knew that this was the biggest treasure she would ever own! And she was right!

Three years later Trish looked in the mirror. She hardly recognized the person staring back at her. This woman had messy hair, obviously no sleep, she weighed 15 lbs more than she had before Brylie was born (which on a tiny 5'2 frame totally showed). She had put off her dream of working for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, getting a BA in Radiologic Sciences, buying a new house, getting braces, and a boob job. SOMETHING must be done, she decided! "I don't have any energy anymore, I am cranky, I have no time for me and I love my baby, but I think I could be a better mommy if I was nicer to myself"

This is when she remembered Adult dance and fitness....this place had been her second home for 6 mos. when Brylie was a year old. She loved pole dancing for fitness and really wanted to learn more about aerial silks and hoop! She stopped going because of time and also she was always feeling so sore from fibromyalgia. She decided it was time to go back! And maybe a new hair cut and style and color at that! And a tan wouldn't hurt either, she needs some color!
She also developed a love for crafting and blogging and felt inspired daily by other blogs to make her home cute! So she started a blog of her own, actually two blogs! She stopped drinking caffeine and decided she is going to work out daily, go back to school, start sewing and crafting more, learn photography, and spend more quality time with her daughter!

And Trish will find her inner Goddess again!
