Project Get Pregnant

the Senator and I are trying to have a baby. Dr. says I need to lose 20lbs to help regulate my already semi-regulated cycle (sorry if TMI). I have an overwhelming need to fulfill/begin this section of my life called motherhood. It elbows its way past every emotion I can possibly conceive.

So. In leu of my new obsession and because I consider running, exercising, and anything having to do with weight management, tortuous, I have decided to take on the approach of a fellow blog buddy of mine, Mrs. Jetplane. In a blog post here she references a Couch-to-5k option to help her get into shape. I think this is absolutely amazing. What a great way to stay motivated! Right!?!? Anyway, I've decided to follow her lead and follow this plan. Honestly, I'm excited. I start tomorrow morning at 6:00am and end on October 9th. Which happens to be the day after hubbs and I follow-up with your home buyer folks to let them know that we've paid off 90% of our debt which means we can move to the next step. Yay!!!!!

I feel hopeful, and have committed myself to one day at a time. I tend to exhaust myself by contemplating the days ahead and not focusing on what's in front of me. I get all bent out of shape and become a psycho over-achiever and then fail horribly because I become fearful I won't be able to finish what I've made so huge in my head. I know. Don't even say it. I'm already talking about it with my therapist. Does anyone know how much weight I will lose while training for this thing? I mean, am I going about this the wrong way? I just envisioned myself extremely frustrated because I find out that training actually puts weight on you instead of helping you take it off... Oh No!!!! Help!

Have you ever embarked on a journey like this? What was your experience like?
