The start of my new journey!

Well Colleen is totally pissed at me! You see... I have started my life change! On 4/29, I started my diet/life change. At first Colleen thought it was my usual "oh sure Aimee is starting a diet. She always starts for one day and then I talk to her and the next morning she is drinking a Mountain Dew at 7:30 am..." But 2 weeks later I am 9 pounds lighter and Colleen is so upset!! She is starving for carbs, sweets and soda however I am fully satisfied with my menu that I have set up for myself. The switch in my brain finally went into "GO" mode when all my friends from work were planning on doing the Disney Princess Half Marathon on February 23, 2014. I thought to myself "that sounds like so much fun and I am going to do it!!!" That was it... it was that fast and easy. I have been for years talking about it and planning it. I always said "oh I will start on Monday..." or "I will start the beginning of the new year..." AND IT NEVER HAPPENS!!! These past 2 weeks is the longest I have ever done in 10 years with a diet. I feel so good an accomplished so far.
