30 day challenge

So, I guess that in order to actually hold myself accountable, I should actually write on the blog. (haha)

I did manage to get the measurements done. They may be a little off considering that my coworkers and I have absolutely no idea what we are doing when it comes to taking measurements.  So.. here goes it!

Arm - 16in.
Thigh - 30in
Bust - 46.5in
Waist - 41in
Hips - 52in

OMG! I feel like a whale. Anyhoo, on the plus side there were a couple of people who told me that I look like I'm losing weight! (woohoo!)

Ok, so on to the title of this post "30 Day Challenge"

In the past week, I have had many people coming to me with fad diets that they claim will make me drop loads of weight. However, I'm not to keen on restrictive diets.  I like to eat!! I like to eat a lot!!!
I didn't get this way by NOT eating!

Anything that restricts my love of eating, would not make me happy. AND...my happiness is more important to me than my waist line (i think..lol)

So I have decided that I would try good old fashioned exercising and I will only eat when I'm hungry and I will cook more at home (No fast food).

I will do this for a total of 30 days! If, after 30 days, I have not lost at least...hmmm. let's say 10lbs (random number) then I will try one of the restrictive diets.

Also, I decided a few weeks ago to run a 5k in June. I found one of the Couch to 5k plans and to this day...I've sucked at consistently running. The plan is suppose to take 9 weeks and frankly...if I don't get started today, then I will NOT be ready to run in June :-(

So...today...we RUN!!!!

I will attempt to post tonight about my jogging experience today.

Oh yeah, and my weight has remained at 248.5 lbs. And I guess it would help to mention that I'm 5'2". (Yeppp...I'ma biggun)
