So, I'm a slacker. I rarely follow through with anything that I set my mind to. I get really excited for it all to start, but as I get about a week in, I give up. June is going to be about a new me. We have book our trip to Mexico for a very special person's wedding in November and I'm feeling like a beached whale. I must get fit and live my best life. This starts today...
We just got back from our annual Durango, CO trip. Normally we go with our good friends, but this year they flaked and went to Mexico instead, I'm not going to lie and say it didn't sting a bit, but I guess it's true that its true, the older you get the more you find out no one really cares about your feelings. We still had an awesome time. The weather was wonderful. The 4 days were spent with a day on the Animas River with Mountain Waters Rafting (our guide Andrew was awesome and turns out he helped us out big time on a previous Durango trip), pool time, Mesa Verde National Park, relaxing with cocktails, and of course the Seafood Boil at Steamworks Brewery. I love Durango, It never disappoints. My nose is peeling and my heart is full of great memories.
Now the work begins. We have one more week of meal delivery. We have been subscribing to the Blue Apron and Marley Spoon boxes. I love them. Having meals delivered really cuts down on us going out to eat so much. My one complaint is that they are expensive. It is cheaper than going out to eat for every meal, which is something that we are known to do, but they still cost way more than going to the grocery store yourself. We are going to start a Whole 30 on June 4th. This means lots and lots of meal planning. I'm able to get some help with this from Emeals, I use the Paleo Plan and cut out all of the Whole 30 noncompliant items like honey that recipes may use.
I also started to subscribe to Daily Burn. All Beginners Program. It felt great. This must continue.
I'm going to be spending the next week meal planning and budgeting. This is all going to be an adventure. One that I am ready for. One that must happen. One that is long overdue. Just when you thought life couldn't get much better...

The first day of the rest of my life...
I did it. Up at 5am to run a mile. I finished and didn't require emergency medical attention. I'm pretty sure I got this...

This is it
So, tomorrow's the day. The day I finally get off my rotund butt and start working on me. I'm the old cliche, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm 40 and fat, unhealthy, wasteful, bad with money and slobbish. My house is a mess. My budget is a mess. My body. My life...
But not anymore. I'm gonna take you on a ride through my 2019. I'm going to get fit. I'm going to eat better. Spend less money. Find new ways to get through life without single use plastics. Be a better mom. Better wife. Better all around human. Life is short. I've hit the halfway mark and that scares the shit out of me.
So tomorrow it's up at five and I'm hitting the treadmill. I'm doing my second Pat Tillman Run on April 27th of this year. I walked all 4.2 miles last year and was pretty proud, but this year I'm gonna run it. Tomorrow morning at 5am will start my couch to 8k training. I'm pretty excited about this. I'm also pretty worried. When telling my loving husband my plan he said "make sure you have me and 911 on speed dial". That right there is my motivation. Nothing gets me motivated more than someone who doesn't think I can do something. I'll show him.
So strap in and hang on. Turning 40 in 2019 is going to be my best year yet!
