#Project50 is back online!

So wow. Three posts almost a year ago and then nothing? How lame is that? Well, get ready for more posts, more updates, more progress and more motivation because I'm back with #Project50!

To catch up on whats happened with in the past year, I've traveled to London for the second time and worked on a play production with Burning Coal Theatre. It was great to be back in my favorite city in the world! Our show went great and we had a fantastic time seeing some of the sites! I also went to Scotland for two days, which is always great! I also had a change in jobs which has been a wonderful step in the right direction! I was so incredibly unhappy working for the airline, even though I was working from home and had a bit of a flexible schedule. I didn't like the person the job made me. I seemed to become more negative. Fortunately a great opportunity presented itself to work as a full time receptionist at a local animal hospital. I've been working there for about 3-4 months and I absolutely love it! I've already learned so much and I look forward to learning even more as things go!

However, lately I've found out that my blood pressure has gone up quite a bit and my weight hasn't gotten any better in the past year. I've been coming in right around 200 lately, which drives me crazy. But I certainly need to get my blood pressure under control since hypertension runs heavy in the family. My mom died from a heart attack. Her mom died from a stroke. Needless to say, it's a concern. So, here I go again to make another hardcore attempt at becoming a happier and healthier Carry! I plan to start Couch to 5K soon with the goal of running a 5K that I only walked a few months ago with the girls from the animal hospital. It took us an hour to walk it. So my goal is to work hard and try to run/jog it later this year when it comes around again. I also have a few new DVDs in addition to my Zumba kit I got last year that I hope will help me with mixing things up. I have plenty of options!

Anyway, this coming Wednesday I will do an official Weigh-In Wednesday and post some "before" pictures. Let's hope things go better this time around and I don't get side-tracked by life and stop my progress! Until then...

Later days...
