Update

    I am currently 30 days out from my 5k.  I was finally able to track down a store that I could walk out with a new pair of actual running shoes.  I have been meeting with my escort/trainer for 2 months now twice a week.  My eating habits have changed along with my exercise routines.  These changes have allowed me to lose 30 pounds in the 2 months.  I have lost over 20 inches in total.  I am nowhere close to were i want to be but I am moving forward.  So,"No thank-you," sweet smelling cupcake lady. I will not succumb to your alluring curves.  Take time to notice the small victories so you have something to lean on when it gets tough.....It is ok to keep score......
