After a week full of finals for Scott, stress eating for me and a very sick family (Scott is just now getting it as it goes the rounds) I am ready to start anew. A gal names Erica, who writes a blog that I follow, and I are going to be virtual running buddies! Why a virtual running buddy? Well, it's someone that I can be accountable to who can't actually see me run and have potential material for future blackmail and this means I can set my own pace without feeling pressured to keep up with another runner who may be at a different fitness level than myself. I'm also supposed to be reporting to my sister Stephanie and my sister-in-law Audrey at the end of every week how I've done with exercising and I've been mia, but no more, I will be consistent!! This means no more slacking for me anymore! NO MORE EXCUSES! And really, I do have an elliptical in the basement and a double jogger so I shouldn't have any excuses, although it did snow earlier this week, which was totally weird.... At the end of the week I'll (hopefully) post and tell you all how it went this week and how I stacked up against my goals.
I had Scott print out some inspiring pictures that I have put up on the front of the snack cabinet in the kitchen and some that I will post in front of the elliptical as motivation. They are a combination of pictures. Some are pictures of me from my skinny days when I was comfortable in my body. Sometimes it's easy to feel discouraged and feel like my goals are unattainable and this way I have tangible proof that my body can in fact do this!
Also there are pictures of some fun outfits (both casual and more formal) from Pinterest that I would love to be able to rock.

I'm on the search for a couple of new running songs to add to my workout playlist so hit me up with your favorites! (just as an fyi, I try to avoid songs with lots of swears or innuendos) What songs keep you moving when you are exercising?
