Run, Aimee, Run!!!!

Well, I did it!  I registered for the Disney Princess Half Marathon that is on Feb. 23, 2014!!! 

I can't believe I am doing it!  If you would have asked me 3 months ago if I would run a 1/2 marathon, I would have looked at you like you had 2 heads!  Me... Fat Aimee... with Colleen... run a 1/2 marathon.... NO WAY!!!  Well it is true!  This marathon got me started on my life change.  My friends at work decided to sign up for it.  I was thinking... why can't I run it, oh yeah because I would be running it with literally 2 people! Well, as you can imagine, I had a lengthy conversation with Colleen about this.  (Flash back sequence back to April 25, 2013, the day I decided to change my life)

Colleen: "It is better that you don't sign up, we wouldn't finish... you will be embarrassed and I will be pissed that you woke me up at 2am to run!!  You know what, Aimee, this is better for both of us if we don't do this..." 

Me: "But I want to do this, I really want to be able to do this... "

Colleen: "No, no, no.. it is too much trouble! Do you know what we will have to do to get to that size?  We will need to eat right and exercise and I will not allow you to give up the food I like! So help me Aimee!  I need my Mountain Dew and Taco Bell..."

Me: "You know what Colleen, I am so tired of you telling me what to eat!  I hate the way I feel and look and I am SO tired shopping in the "Plus Size" areas at Wal-Mart trying to find a half way decent sexy outfit and failing miserably!  I end up looking pregnant or like I live in the retirement home!!!  I am doing this and you are going to slowly fade out of my life!"

Colleen: "NOOOOOOOOO!"

You get the picture, LOL!

Well, now it has been 1 month and 22 days and I have lost of total of 18 pounds!  I have changed my eating habits dramaticly and excersing.  Plus I am feeling great and people are starting to notice. I am so happy!  I can't say that much about Colleen...  Can you hear her.. can you hear Colleen?  Her voice is dimming as the days go on... Listen...          "I am melting... melting... what a world...."
