Doing good so far!

So I have been doing great so far, my only trouble was yesterday when I cooked some frozen pre-made pasta from Costco and I didn't know what the caloric count was so I'm sure I over did it. I'm down 5 lbs and I'm running 2 miles 3 times a week with Zumba twice a week.
 I love Myfitnesspal app. Without it I would go terribly overboard. I have really enjoyed running. At first of course I sort of dread going but I feel so good when I'm done. I am almost ready for my 5k next month. I'm not drinking soda more than maybe once a week if I have it at all and Im avoiding going out to eat. I know eventually I will go but for now I will focus on what I'm eating at home. When I lost all the weight a few years ago I think I was so motivated because I had lost all my pregnancy weight from breastfeeding and I had no desire to eat a ton of food so that must have been a hormonal thing. This time around its just me. I want to do this and after 2 weeks of trying hard, I feel better already and I want take this all the way. There will be mistakes but I will remember there is always tomorrow and I will do better tomorrow.
We are going to the beach this summer and Hawaii next year. I will look and feel better by this summer but I will be hot by next summer. I can do this.

Take......100??

How many times do I post that I'm starting over again? Well guess what? I'm starting over again. Yes. I have great support in my very own home this time though. Thats right, my husband is doing it with me.  My friend Nathalie and I are working together and supporting and checking on each other as well. She just had a baby so she has a great excuse. I have none. I'm just fat and lazy.
Nathalie and I have signed up for a race next month with my bestie Amber. I'm so stinking scared. I've started running. I started last week and this week I can run a mile and a half. I'm trying to run 3 days a week and doing XBox Zumba the other two days. I am counting my calories and I've discovered that I had set my calorie limit way too low. Now that its fixed I've started to lose weight. Very exciting. I'm taking this one a day at a time. I keep looking at the big picture and getting overwhelmed and losing my faith in myself. This time I am only worrying about how I do that day. If I make a mistake I know that I can do a better job the next day. I want to be healthy and I want to feel better about myself and know that I can't blame how I treated my body if something goes wrong.
