{One Year, 52 lbs - Update #1}

I have to start this post off by sharing this picture my best friend, Stephanie, had on her Facebook page...


...definitely made me laugh!

Since I originally started this quest to lose 52 lbs in one year...I lost a total of 17lbs but gained back 4 lbs over the holiday season (which was SUPER shocking because when I stepped on the scale after Christmas I expected WAY worse lol) but I'm back on the band wagon and I've lost another 1 lb already so right now, I'm 14 lbs down and only 38 more pounds to go! Totally doable before July 15th, right?!

If any of you are on My Fitness Pal (or if you aren't and want to lose weight - I HIGHLY recommend this site), come add me so we can do this journey together! My username is:  cblakley0531 :-)

I'm getting really excited because my Hubby and I will be registering for Bloomsday (which is turning into an entire family affair...freakin love it!) this week AND next month I'm going to be starting the "From Couch to 5 K" program. This is seriously an amazing program, especially if you HATE running like I do! I've never done Bloomsday before so I set a small goal for myself to just run at least 5K of the race since the entire race is a 12K haha! 

I'm so ready to be back on this journey that I've made a new Pinterest board for motivation...so you know it's serious when Pinterest gets involved! LOL! I know, I'm ridiculous sometimes ;-)

Who out there is on a journey of weight loss? Are you sharing your journey? Blogging about it? Share the link to your blog or social networking site or MFP profile below! I'd love to keep up with you and support you!! :-)

    Weight loss is totally on my goal list for the year. I'm tired of setting that goal and forgetting about it- this will be the year I make a lifestyle change! I've gotten through a couple days of C25K before but something always happens and I get thrown off the swing of it and stop! I'm looking to start it up again next month too.

    I completed the c25k last summer and ran my first 5K on Labor Day. Very slowly! I hate running but I did it! I've recently started over on the c25k because, well, the holidays, and it is SO hard getting back everything you worked so hard to achieve. But I think the c25k is a really good program. Good luck!
