Running away from running

It's been a while , I know :(. I forgot about actually having this blog, until Brande Thompson reminded me. But you know what else reminded me, ummmm well I'm still fat and I still haven't run a 5k. Does that make my blog untrue? umm no, FYI I said I was still fat, lol. Well once again, I setting myself up for the challenge of running, not so much a 5k but more of get your butt up and run. Seeing that I've gained back 20lbs that I lost when I was first "training" for my "5k", its time to get on the ball, plus I'll be trying on wedding dresses in a few more months. So first things first. Stop running from running...yeah I said it. Yeah it's cold outside, and my bed feels so much nicer than my Nike's in the morning. But in order to get this weight off ( which if I loose weight, could I change my blog to , "smaller fat girl running a 5k) I need to run. So what do I do first? #1 decide to run (check), #2 write about it ( check..check), #3 alert the ems, way ahead of time, friends and love ones, just in case you don't hear from me anymore, #4 Just do it. Yeah Just do it, sounds easy, I wish it were. Only if I could put on my matching Nike out ( which I don't own) and my awesome Nike shoes, an take off like the fit and fearless women on the Nike commercials....oh wait they are real athletes. Blah!!! I'm past the stage of denial, I admit that I'm fat and I need to run.....so what exactly is step #5? Oh run, yeah that's right

By the way, if you hear about or see a very plus sized woman in Charlotte, NC, who passed out (or worse) on South Tryon ( the good part), check facebook, it probably was me... Yep I hear Kanye West " Champion, playing in my head Til next time...Work it baby.... faster...stronger!!!

Go Shyla GO

No Race, But I've Still Been Running

Alot has changed since I last blogged. I have a new job, in a new city, and I have a new place to call home. What has'nt change? Well Im still fat, and I'm still running. Now when I say running, I don't mean physically running. I'm not putting on any sweats and chasing the pavement. But, I am running. Running from, my crazy job, deminishing relationships with friends and families, and running from myself. Why do you ask am I running? Well, if I slow down, I'm scared I'll have to face all of this, so running seems to be the best thing to do! You know another thing that would be a good thing to do? Well to actually run.....but hey I'm running from that too. Hey who wants to be healthy, smaller, or have a reason to shop for more clothes when i have a comfy couch to lay on? Well me! I need to get back on the 5K track....the only thing is how? I need motivation, and maybe a running partner. Living in a complex full of people walking their dogs and running hasn't help, its just made me tired of watching them. I believe before I run, I must learn to walk again...by walking, I mean taking things step by step while moving to my own pace. Yeah, thats it! Don't worry my followers, i will definitely keep up with this blog from know on. Stayed tune, and look outside, you may see me running.....or at least you can watch me fall.

The Running Regimen Starts Tomorrow. Lord Help Me

"The running regimen starts tomorrow",Sherrell says! Great that's what I want to be doing at 8am ( make that 7am) thanks daylight savings. Little does she know, I was running all last week. Well not exactly! I was running from homework, classwork, and my personal life. Wooooo am I beat! I know most of you may not think that's a real run, well you can take one lap on my path of life, and you would be tired. Along with the running regimen, comes me eating healthier , giving up sweets ( hopefully), actually waking up early in the morning (for a reason), and also going to Gold's Gym. Well hopefully I will be able to walk after I run in the morning. Stay tuned....... Hopefully after running this race, there won't be a benefit race in my honor for killing over ,due to exercising. Knock on wood! Still fat.....trying to run

The fat is no longer in charge

so the other day my coworker sherrell convinces me to run a 5k. problem? I am fat, wayyyyy overweight.....bigger problem, I can't run ( unless someone chases me). so after listening to her beg for about 20 minutes i decide let's do it! why shouldnt I? I mean I have a life insurance policy, and my family could use the money. plus, after losing some weight, it would be awesome to lose more. so where to start? my first instance is to run tot he nearest hibbets and get awesome lance aarmstrong shoes, maybe then i can run like hmmm.....umm no that won't work. so i guess i'll start by not devouring a dairy queen blizzard in 8 minutes and to actually use my membership to Gold's Gym. The movement starts now!!!!

P.S. If one more person says, "wait, you are running a 5k"? yes asshole me, the same person that's going to punch you if you ask me that again. watch.....wait...and read!
