And so we begin.....

Thanks for joining me on my journey, I'm sure it will be interesting....

 364 days to go....
Weight-235 ish

So for those who don't know, my name is Liz Rennie. I'm 29, married to Mike and just had Jacob a short eight months ago.
I am always the girl at the bar drinking beer,eating wings and sitting on my ass.

Don't get me wrong, I used to be very fit. In high school (yeah I know,everyone was fit in high school) I played rugby,curling and worked out every day.
Even in university, when I was working Security, I would work out almost everyday. (I'd have a smoke after I ran on the treadmill,but at least I ran....)

When I got married the first time,to 'He who shall not be named', I was introduced to butter.
 I think I loved butter more than my first husband to be honest....

Anyway, I got fat. Not special report on Oprah or the news fat,but pleasantly plump.

I reached critical mass while pregnant with Jacob. Like 275 lbs.
Yes yes I realize I had a human on board,but still it wasn't great.

With Mike fighting colon cancer,and a new baby, getting fit was low on the old priority list.

Plus I LOVE to eat.
It makes me happy,less stressed and cures every other ailment you can possibly imagine.

So why now?
Well Mike,his mom and I did the Underwear Affair to raise money for Cancer research yesterday. On the 5 k walk, I blew past half the pack and felt great.
So I thought,why not do the run?

I'm only an asthmatic, overweight out of shape mommy, no big deal right?

10 k isn't too long right?

I'll start after I'm done my coffee......

Will keep you posted....:-)
