Silly Walking

I've decided to keep a blog for my weight loss efforts- Silly Walking! Mostly I'm planning on talking about the things I discover while I try to lose weight, things I see while exercising and lots of talk about yummy food!

Go check it out!

(This blog will be updated normally, a.k.a. whenever I do something crafty. See previous post.)

Weight loss

No crafts planned at the moment because life is happening- I have some huge term papers, increasing amounts of work, and a small vacation to go on in the next two months!

But most importantly, I'm trying to get healthy. Physically, it's gotten to the point where my weight was starting to cause health problems. I'm already at pretty high risk of thyroid disease and diabetes anyway, and then to add all those extra pounds didn't help at all. So my biggest project this year is to get in shape.

I have a goal: Complete the Walt Disney World 1/2 marathon next January. Just complete it. Nothing more.

My dad did the Goofy Challenge this year and (survived) did great!

I currently can walk about 1.5 miles at a moderate pace before getting tired, which means I've got my work cut out for me. This is why I set this goal now, in March, so that I have most of the year to get my speed and endurance up.

So in a few weeks when my current clothes no longer fit, some sewing projects may pop up as I start replacing things. Until (and during) then, wish me luck!
