Hi I'm Emerald and I'm lazy

Yeah, I'm lazy.  Like If lazy were a job, I'd be Donald Trump runnin' the joint.  But with much better hair.  And in lazy lies my problem with losing weight.  They are diametrically opposed.  And that sucks.

I got off track around Thanksgiving.  You can't diet during the holidays, right?  And right on through Yule (that's the Christmas season to the majority of the world).  And the culmination of the holiday season:  My 40th birthday on New Year's Day.  One must eat cake on their birthday, especially such a big birthday.  I managed to not even get on the scale during that time.  Yes, it's a unique skill I have for avoiding it all.  Well a few days into the new year, I got the stomach bug going around.  Yay me I lost 5 pounds without trying!

So now it's getting down to it.  It's February already and the Great Race is in August.  That's leaving 6 months to really get in shape.  I met with the girls tonight and we did a workout with the Wii Active.  It was scary.  I hate looking stupid.  It's a good thing we are friends, cuz I'd rather look stupid around friends than strangers.  We are on for 3 times a week.  I may even try the couch to 5k... or not.  I'm not sure.  But I do know I have to put my mind to this and settle in.  I won't make the race if I can't get in shape.  And lazy plays no part in that.
