New start

I have decided to join Allan's Challenge if he allows it. I am also going to start the couch to 5k program at the same time. At the ripe old age of 25, I have arthritis in almost every joint in my body. I can over look this most days. Also at 25 I know that because I have carried so much weight while I have worked on my feet for the last 12 yrs my knees are shot. I have been told that knee replacement is in my future before 30. I am no longer working on my feet at Walgreen's because I choose to leave for personal reasons. I am now taking time to get my life in order. I am going to concentrate on my health, family, and building new relationships that I lost because I lived at work. I am going to take the time to prepare for these big changes that will start at the beginning of the year. I am going to start stretching and walking for the length of the first session so that I will have built a little endurance for the running parts. I do not plan to binge eat between now and the first but I will start trying to switch out a few of my foods and hopefully start lowering my calorie intake. I hope this finds everyone doing well. I am sorry that I have not been there to support everyone, as some of you know my mom is going through a divorce and my sister is having a baby. I have been having a hard time dealing with everything. However, I am ready to bounce back and get moving. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All.
