Online Challenge

Six months ago, I was working out consistently with my personal trainer Fabio and I was on my way to being a gym rat.  Fast forward to now...I've gained all the weight I lost...and then some (insert disgusted side eye to myself).

Why did I stop working out? Well for starters Fabio started smelling himself. He went from being the new kid on the block to being oh so popular.  I'd show up and he'd try to work with me AND someone else, because he deliberately double booked us.  I complained and that stopped.  But then, I'd arrive and he'd still be in the midst of a session with his last client because our times overlapped.  Fed up I started doing my own thing...which consisted of NADA.  Eventually Fab was fired for doing something shady for a client.

I can sit here all day and blame Fab and whoever else, but the bottom line is that I didn't stick with it.  So I really don't have anyone to blame but myself.

I've decided to TRY this couch to 5K challenge.  You're supposed to go from being a couch potato to doing 5K run in just 9 weeks.  Here's an example of the schedule here.  I absolutely HATE running...like HATE IT.  My boobs are too damn big to be running, but I'm going to push myself to do it anyway and get a really good exercise bra ha!

Also Trina over at http://mesohongry.blogspot.com/ has issued an Easter Challenge.  Here are the details:

The challenge starts Monday, February 15, 2010 and ends Monday, April 5, 2010 (I already mised day one!)
