5k in 5 months

I usually fundraise and walk for the cure during the Susan G Komen race for the cure. I have done this for a few years now, but I have never run the race; this year, I am going to try to. Me and some of my work colleagues are planning on running the 5k and since we decided way ahead of time, we will train for it and keep each other on track. I am excited because it gives me a reason to get myself back on track, but I am also worried that I may not be ready to run the race in June, mostly cause I am at my heaviest weight in a long time, so even losing 40 or 50lbs will still leave me severly overweight, or possibly still obese. I am not going to let this stop me though. I will try my best to get it together in time to at least jog most of the way. I am optimistic about the whole idea, but at the same time I am a realist and if, at the time of the race, I feel like running it will be too much, I will definitely stick to walking it.

Wish me luck!

New Year, New Hair, New Outlook

Happy new year to all the people who read my blog and even those who do not. I guess I am a couple of weeks late, but hey, the year is still marginally new and will be until February. Going from my title, you maybe wondering what I am going on about, so I will tell you. I chopped off my hair, after years of wishing, hoping and claiming I will, I did. I am one of the laziest people, when it comes to doing girlie things like getting your hair done and putting on makeup, you will ever meet; for most my life, keeping my hair looking right and tight has been a chore and I have always wanted to chop my hair off, so I did. To say that I made the right choice would be an understatement. I don't know why I waited so long to take the plunge, all I have to say though is good riddance to hair troubles. I am free. No more perms, weekly washings, fear of rain, hair breakage, burns and what not. I wake up, I shower, I comb my hair and I am good to go.
As for my new outlook, I want to live an easier life and that includes a healthier and wealthier life. I want to make as much money as I can, so I can save up for when I am on my own. I want to be healthier, but no more of the fad diet shit. I never can keep the weight off, so why spend all that money for no damn reason?
I want this year to be as stress free as it can be that way I can spend more time doing things that will make me better, wealthier and happier.
