100 days of running challenge...

"You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine." 

John C. Maxwell

I love quotes. We all know that words have a powerful impact on our lives, whether it's good or bad. I have started a "daily change" it isn't a huge goal but it's a goal. I invite anyone and everyone to try it! My cousin all the way out in Japan has started this and I automatically jumped on the wagon because I need to change my life! She has been one of the many people who have been a strong support system in my journey especially because she's also facing some of the obstacles I am. 

Let's do this!!!!

We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” 
― J.K. Rowling

Here are the rules: 

     1: You must run a minimum of 30 minutes.  Any shorter and you won’t get the cardio benefits.  Longer is your call.

  

2: 100 days starts when you say it starts. You are allowed 1 rest day (not included towards 100 days) after 6 consecutive run days. 

             

3: Once you start 100 days, you must run regardless of rain, sleet, snow or vacation.

 4.This isn’t a race! You can run twice in the same day and count it as 2 days! The runs just needs to be separated by more than 6 hours. 

    

5.You need to post your run dates, times and mileage (if you know it!). 

This song was the first song on my Pandora playlist when I started to run... It got me pumped!!!

Have a great week! 

Just keep swimming... or breathing.

I am hungry. going to my second job. only have time for fast food. 

What do I choose? 

Burger Supreme. Guacamole burger, fries and a strawberry banana milkshake. 

Did I plan for that? No! 

I was debating on how I would approach this post..

 Should I lie and tell you that once this blog was created, I had an epiphany and I ate nothing but raw foods, worked out at the gym twice a day and was drinking nothing but water? That my skin was clearing up, I had TONS of energy and I was so positive you could see it in my pee?

I don't want to paint a pretty picture and pretend that life is perfect. 

Since I've posted I haven't done my best. I find myself searching for motivational quotes, admiring pictures of Beyonce and doing some retail therapy. 

I've gotten so much feedback from people around the world. motivational stories, their experiences and encouragement. I have unlimited support from family and friends that I feel unworthy of.

What is my fear?

What is it going to take for me to make that CHANGE?! 

To be continued...

Hello

This is my journey.

 I am a type 2 diabetic. I am a wife. I am addicted to sugar. I am trying to get pregnant. Well, I WAS trying to get pregnant, but I was just told by my Endocrinologist that I need to get my blood sugar levels (BSL) and A1C levels down. I am now having to use insulin daily. 

Why explain my life? I know there is a massive group of women out there that are in my same exact position. Whether it is dealing with diabetes, trouble getting pregnant or just a battle to overcome any kind of physical trials. Putting it out there will make it that much easier to overcome

What do I want out of this? Not only do I want to empower women around the world and let them know that we are all in this together, but to be held accountable for my actions. I am scared.

I was diagnosed with diabetes about 4 years ago, since then I've failed miserably to follow a healthy diet and exercise.

I know this is something that I need to do, and I thank you in advance for your support
"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. 
-Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm not an english major, a doctor. or a therapist.

I'm vulnerable, in denial and emotional.

I need to find that inner beast

I need to be FIERCE!
