Beautiful Sisters, will you help me???

Ok, so I am officially pledging that 2010 is going to be a life changing year. I AM going to get in shape. In my previous post, I stated that if I have achieved my goal and get in the proper shape, I would like to run the Country Music Marathon in April of 2011. This is a huge goal and one that I plan on achieving.

What I would absolutely love is if there are some of my sisters that would be interested in doing this with me. Whether you are already a runner or not, I think this would be an awesome thing to do together, and train together if close by. I know it would give me such a sense of accomplishment and to be able to do it with my sisters would make it even more rewarding. Anywho, if you would at least think about it and get back to me, it would be greatly appreciated. Love you all so much!!! Love, Honor, Truth.

In Our Bond,

Jayna

Change...for real this time.

Over the past couple days, well always, but especially the last couple days, I have been thinking about what I truly want and need out of my life. I realized that nearly everything starts with one thing. Confidence. In order to be the person I want to be, I need have confidence in the person I already am. This has always been a huge obstacle in my path, and I'm sure it still will be for a long time, but I am so ready to conquer it. I'm ready to set goals for myself and make them happen. I'm kind of happy these thoughts are starting at this point in the year, because a new one is right around the corner and I can and will start fresh.

Since I was in second grade (2nd!) the doctors have been telling me to lose weight. I'm ashamed. I always have been, but not anymore. Being overweight for so long has been awful for my health, but honestly, it's made me the person I am today. Now that I've realized all of this, I'm ready to put it behind me and start new.

My first order of business is to get in shape, and I mean it this time!! I have to do it. I have to do it for my present self and my future self. I want to do the things I've always wanted to and not be embarrassed! I want to set reachable goals. I want to go hiking, kayaking, and maybe even skydiving. I want to get married and have kids, without having a ton of risks because of my health. I want to run a marathon.

Which brings me to my second order of business. This is a huge deal for me. In April of 2011, I want to run the Country Music Marathon. I've been thinking about wanting to run a marathon for a while. My hope is that it will be the final obstacle in becoming who I truly want to be.

Now. I need your help. I need family and friends to hold me accountable for everything I've mentioned. I would love it if one person or multiple people would join me in embarking on this part of my journey. Help me and I will do what I can to help you. Join with me in attempting to be ready for the marathon and running it with me when I succeed. I'm so ready for change, and I can feel it within me.

Thanks for listening.

P.S. I used a different shampoo and conditioner and my hair smells like Fruity Pebbles. I kind of like it. : D
