I started today with some lovely Spark drink from Advocare--a yummy little sugar-free energy drink. It's truly delightful and probably the only reason I made it through Day 1 Week 1 of C25K--an app designed to train from zero activity to running a 5k. I've used it before and actually began to enjoy running. See below for the aesthetic results of today's run. Yes, I'm that sexy. No, I'm not actually ready to feint. I will say, though, I am very angry about living on a horrible, horrible hill right now. But I made it. And every small step forward is a step worth celebrating. I happen to be celebrating by sitting out on the deck and trying to catch my breath and blogging. 
So, in addition to the Advocare 10 Day Cleanse and C25K, I use the My Fitness Pal app. It's essentially a calorie counter and progress tracker. Being unemployed, I can't afford to go back to Weight Watchers meetings, which is how I lost over 50 pounds in preparation for my wedding. I refuse to just use the app, because I fully believe the meetings are what truly helped me. That said, I found out there are Overeaters Anonymous meetings held several times a week just a few blocks from my apartment. It's supposed to be similar to AA with a 12-step program and whatnot. I'm going to try it out soon, because meeting once a week with like-minded individuals is an incredible help. I have no doubt I will learn from them, and hopefully I have a thing or two to contribute, as well. I think it would be interesting to see what tools other people lean on, instead of meeting exclusively with those who use Weight Watchers.
Side note, I'm in love with the rustling sound of some small furry mammal in the leaves down below the deck. I don't even want to look to see what it is. I just know it's cute, and it's making me smile rullll big.
Okay. I looked. It was a bunny.

That's all for now. :)
