As promised, here is the week update.
I got sick. Yea, Sunday morning I felt not so good and it turned into a full blown cold. It took me out of work for several days this week. I'm still recovering today, a week later.
Tomorrow is a big day though. I got a new scale and we are all weighing in and are finally going to start tracking our weight loss. It's going to keep up on the right track eating wise and help us with our workouts as we will consistently keep working to lose weight.
Short update, but big things are happening.

Motivation
Hey everyone,
Haven't posted in awhile, my apologies. I wanted to put something down tonight because the Wine and Dine Half Marathon is happening as we speak. As you all know, this is the race we are planning to run in exactly a year from now. It's been fun seeing all the tweets and Instagram pictures from Disney for the event. It looks like so much fun and I am pumped to get there and complete our race.
That being said, we've definitely hit a bump in the road. Dad took an unorthodox trip down the stairs last week and he's been sore so he hasn't been able to run with us. Also, last saturday we completed a 2.25 mile RWR and it almost killed us. No joke. It was intense as it was our longest distance and it was our first distance run at 15 second run intervals. So painful. We ended up just walking on Monday and essentially took the rest of the week off. It was that bad. We all were still feeling it days afterwards. I know I was. I believe we pushed it a little too far on Saturday. What I've come to believe is we are not taking our nutrition as seriously as we need to in order for our runs to be as effective as they can. Without proper nutrition, we are just spinning in circles.
Needless to say, our motivation is down. Realizing our race is now 1 year away puts it into better perspective. We're down, but I refuse to be out. This is one of the best decisions we've made and I am committed to seeing it through. I am not going to quit and I am going to fight to change my life and my family's lives. I feel like I've been here a hundred times before, making some progress and then getting crushed when the road gets tough. I refuse to quit. I simply refuse to quit.
I will have an update in one week and it will be positive. Prayers would be greatly appreciated as we're going to push ourselves to where we've never been before.
Countdown: 364
To Infinity and Beyond.
