As most of you know I had at one point talked about doing the 5k run/walk for Victory Junction Gang Camp and I know most of you just shook your head and were like yeah...ok...whatever...you'll give up in a week or to like usual and then you'll come up with something "else" to do - however, I have been working towards that goal of a 5k first of December, and while I'm starting off slow hopefully that will give me the stamina I need to be able to make it to the end. I took the calendar and started with 5k run on the day and worked backwards alternating what I needed to give my body a cross train type effect. However, this is my road block....MUSIC!

If I don't take my Ipod with me my mind starts wandering about everything going on in life and everything I need to do and therefore I allow myself talk myself into giving up and heading back early to get stuff done....but with my Ipod on I spend so much time shuffling through music I can't really concentrate on the task at hand and really put my mind into it and focus and "see" the finish line....

I need some good upbeat songs. Some good ones like if you just won a big victory .. inspirational ones...I'm open to artists I've never heard of I just want them to upbeat and catchy like "I can't drive 55" by Sammay Hagar I love that one (Old School Rock, Country and Pop are my favorites)...etc...So if any of you have ideas for some songs that you just love and you find yourself bee bobbin to in the seat when you hear it on the radio comment me and lemme know!!!

Now onto the actual training...this week has been a week of things that is easy anywhere from 1/2 mile to 1 mile walks ... this weekend I'll break into the 1/4 mile run...To say i'm not tired, bored and sore would be an understatement...I know that for the normal everyday person that may not seem like a lot and any ol rolly polly can do it but I'm terribly out of shape and for my knees to hold up almost 260 pounds and my back to support the constant motion of the same all while the face maintains a smile is a lot harder then it looks and I challenge anyone that has never been this way to put on a fat suit and walk around for a day....What I would do for some people to just experience it...but I know they would soon forget the experience they felt and go back to telling me to just suck it and do it for me and if you want it bad enough you'll do ... well no it's not quite that simple and I could want it bad enough for my life but it's still hard.

Life isn't easy. It's baby steps. It's decluttering your body. It's decluttering your mind. So as I work at Decluttering my home I'm also working at decluttering my mind, body and soul.
