Wow how time flies

Can hardly believe it's been so long since my last post. Things have been very busy to say the least. My life for the last month completely revolves around getting my life back, and by that I mean doing what I need to do to get healthy.

I have posted often about joining the gym and working with a trainer, honestly I think that was the best decision I have ever made. My trainer is awesome, he is so inspirational, he makes me laugh, he makes me believe in myself and he knows exactly what to say and do to get the most out of me every workout.

During a 1 min break on Wednesdays session, he asked me if I wanted to run a 5k run with him and some other people in September. ME - a frigging 5K - In September OF THIS YEAR!!!!!!! I asked him if he thought I would be ready for that by September and he said "of course you will" That one moment made me so happy, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry or hug him or do a friggin back flip. Last September I made a bucket list of all the far out crazy, unimaginable things that I wanted to accomplish in this life and becoming a runner was one of them.

I will try to write more often about the trials of going to the gym and will definitely write when I have my next weigh in and they take my measurements. I think I will see a huge change especially in the inches lost.

The one he asked me to do is for autistic kids, so I will do that just to get a feel for it(he said he will not be running the whole way because he will have kids with him). I plan on running the CIBC run for a cure. It's the 10th anniversay of my Mom's death to Breast cancer, so it is a pretty important goal to be able to RUN in her honour. Good on ya Nicole, come up to T.O and we can run together - lol
