The big decision

So, I've decided that I'm definitely going to start training for the 5k in July. I normally would never buy things before I've proven that I am actually going to do it, but this time I couldn't. More than that, I spent more than I ever have for weight management, and more money in one swoop than I have in years. It was a really hard decision, but I had to do it. I needed better shoes or I was going to stop before I even really began. I needed a decent sport's bra because the ones I have give me massive back and head aches and without them I'm in pain. I needed better socks because the ones I have now give me water blisters with even every day use. So I spent 200 dollars. I didn't hint to my parents that I wanted help, I just spent it. And it makes me even more determined to use them.
I can't back out now. For one, I need to do this for myself. I feel very determined. For two, if I waste this money, I will never forgive myself. So here is the plan. I'm going to start the couch to 5k program. But I know that I'm going to take longer to do it than the program is for. So I'm giving myself 18 weeks, two weeks for each week's program. I'm going to keep doing my best to eat healthy. BUT WAIT, There's More!
I'm also going to start putting together self-motivators. I'm going to make a running list of why I want to lose weight and get healthier. I'm going to make lists of what I'm going to do and what I'm hoping to stop doing. I'm going to read something positive and educational about healthy living as often as I can (I was going to say everyday, but that seemed like I was setting myself up to fail). That being said, I'm just going to keep myself motivated for as long as I can. And when I can't motivate myself any longer, I'll turn to others for motivation.
So tomorrow starts the first day of my new journey. No more months with catchy names. This is Kathy to 5k! Here we go.
