OK, so i've made a decision, I HAVE TO GET IN SHAPE!!! My friend Kerri just ran a triathalon. We are the same age. My friend Heather ran one as well not too long ago. I am so PROUD of them! But it kind of makes me feel a bit like a loser and its all my doing. I've become VERY lazy since being married. They are much more determinded and motivated. I also remember at the begining of summer my plan was to be able to ride my bike up Poleline road here in town without stopping by the end of summer. I haven't been trying or practicing or anything. What a loser i am. UGH! I am not doing it just to look good, but that is a total benefit. But i need to get healthy so i will hopefully be able to get pregnant and carry a baby to full term. With my PCOS it's ideal if i were in much better shape then i am now.
Here are some pictures of my days in High School and from Ricks College. These are all from about 1995-1998. My "then" pictures.
THEN...
Me as a Sr. year of high school at our Volleyball Banquet. (1995)
Sr. year with my friend Linds. Look how skinny my face is! (1995)
My sister Natalie and I as i prepared to graduate High School (1996).
Me eating while attending Ricks College (Summer 1997).
Me and my roommate Karianne with our Christmas Tree (1998).
NOW....
Can anyone say...NASTY!!! Kevin & I at Jackson Hole, WY (2007).
In High School and College i used to think i was SO FAT!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?!?! I looked GOOD! I want you all bugging me (and encouraging me) about what i am doing or what i need to do or giving me ideas of what i could be doing. Apparently i need some (alot of) pushing. :) I know i'm not 18 any more, but i don't want to turn 30 (in about 7 months) and look like i do now. I want to look good and feel good about myself! I want to get back to my "Then" size.

You go girl! Getting in shape is always a good goal for EVERYONE to have!
Jackie, you are fired up!! you sound motivated, and I know you can do it!
Jackie...I too am on a determined kick...My post from yesterday was about the same (I am keeping it as a draft for now)but we can do this together!! go jackie!
I think it's TOTALLY possible! It's amazing how quickly the athlete in you emerges again--all of that good competitive attitude and will power!
I agree with you! I thought I was fat in HS too and now I am ashamed to post pictures of myself!! Too bad we are not close enough to be each others support system.
You'll do great!! It is so much easier to have a partner counting on you. Seriously, that is the only way I got my motiviation to do the 1/2 marathon.
Hey there I will encourage you along. I have to loose about 30lbs. I lost about 30lbs but then gained about 15of it back. So maybe we could have a contest. If I was able to work out at the college I will have you be my work out buddy. What are the stipulations about that anyways. Give me a call some evening and maybe we could go walking or jobgging whateever.
