So those of you who know me know this...... During High School I was very active and involved in many a sports. Running being my absolute favorite. I was a skinny girl hiding behind clothes that were too big and very afraid to wear fitted clothing. After High School I worked really hard at being skinny, looking cute and started to wear more than just mascara. Fast forward a few years. I had a little girl who was almost two and was in really really awesome shape and went to the gym everyday..... a few more years 2 more kids several attempts at losing weight and more important getting into shape this is my story of today. I decided that I would go walking. If you've walked with me you know that I walk pretty fast. I however, haven't gone walking for over a year. I decided I would run for a couple of blocks and then walk the mile I needed to. I made it running for a block. I then spent the rest of my mile wheezing and breathing so heavily I sounded like Darthvader. I walked into our house and I let out some noise and my husband started laughing hysterically. Then my little guy asked me why my skin was all red? I sat down and thought I was going to die!!! Chris still laughing. We were talking and I proceeded to tell my son that I was really hot and that I also couldn't breathe. Chris laughed even more. (Hubs is in amazing shape and works out at the gym every day... Go figure he'd laugh. What a Butt.) I too started to laugh . How funny a sight I must have been. All I can say is this: Hey At Least I'm Trying Here Darthvader breathing and all. I will be back one day I will!!!

I'm proud of you, it's a start. I decided to start running as well, and about after 1 mile I was wanting to swear my head off but, I think it feels so good after.

Way to go Autumn.. It sucks to try to get back into shape after a long time. I'm trying to be better too.
Good job for even getting out and trying sister, which is more than i'm doing.
Oh, to be a guy...
I've been trying to run too - and my face practically turns purple! Keep up the good work - I am impressed! And when you get discouraged, think of me. I have a lot longer way to go than you! ;)
