I’m either good or I’m bad.  there is no in-between, and for the last 6 or 7 months I’ve been bad….. eating all around me and not really running anymore.  So I’ve decided to take action in the form of

(1) Motivation weight-loss – it is a diet program focusing on protein (not Atkins though) and a calorie controlled diet. The target is to lose 30 pounds by the end of July, so that’s about 15 weeks away.  reasonable objective?  I don’t know!  I hope so!

(2) Running – between now and October I’ve enrolled for about 10 races ranging between 5K and 13.1 miles… actually, the last three are three half marathons!

so will I succeed?  All I’m saying is a winner never quits and a quitter never wins.

I’m on day 1 of running plan (3.5 miles in 37 mins – I’m happy!) and day 2 of the diet.

Watch this space for updates.  I will not fail this time!

oh and did I mention that while I’m doing this I’ll be moving to Co. Clare! More drama on that one to follow!!!
