A few weeks ago I went out for fried chicken with my family for lunch. I needed to take the big little girl to the bathroom and on my way back I saw a brochure with a bike on it. I quickly grabbed one and shoved it in the diaper bag. After the girls had gone to sleep and hubby had gone to have a shower I took it out and looked at it. "I wonder if I could do that?" I thought.
I lay in bed that night feeling my heart pump. It felt like it was working hard, like it was pumping syrup not blood. "It's probably thick like syrup, you ate like crap today. Like always."
I got up and went to the computer and looked up the ride online. Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer
It looked good, I was intrigued. I went back to bed, but didn't sleep all night. I started thinking about all of the people I know right now that are battling cancer. I can't believe that I know 6 people right now that are in treatment, or have just finished treatment for various kinds of cancer. That really scares me.
I came to the conclusion that I am wasting my potential by not working my body. I am tired, I am lazy, I am moody and I am sad at the state that I am in. For some reason it is always harder to feed myself properly even though I am making sure the girls get all of their fruits and veggies.
I have decided that I am going to make some changes to my lifestyle including eating right and exercising. Did you notice that I didn't use the word diet? No diet, just better choices. My goal is to be healthy and fit enough to do the Conquer Cancer bike ride in June of 2012. I want to share my journey, the good, the bad and the ugly to help keep me motivated and on the right track.
This is the start of my BIG comeback to health. Please check back for updates, and bear with me as I get things up on the blog.
This is the start of something new, and I am scared, but I know I can do it.
