It was my first day running

It was my first day running since early last semester. Yeah, I'd like to tell myself that I've been THAT busy when in actuallity, I've just been THAT lazy. I must admit, I've had a  hectic year trying to cram in every senior level class I can find for my last year and a half of college. It ain't easy. But enough about school. Today, I was talking to my parents. They were just coming from the gym. Before I left their house for winter break, I and my sister told my dad that every pound he lost, we'd lose. I've never felt like swallowing my words more now than ever. In attempts to encourage him to get in shape, he took our words to heart and has really been doing well! He called me today and told me he's lost 8 pounds since Janurary! While, I will NOT be losing 8 pounds at least for the next month or so, I will be working on my fitness and nutrition. I did lunges, high steps, backwards running and butt kicks (each for 1/4) of a block. Then I ran. I didn't make it around the full block and felt like I was going to pass out, but something is more than nothing right? I guess if I want to begin my journey to a healthy life, the girls scout cookies and chips and dip have got to go. It's been nice knowing you on a daily basis.

I found this on Pinterest. This pretty much sums up my excursion. <3
