Greetings from Choco!

I asked my cousin this morning if we should start a blog that follows our MONUMENTAL efforts to lose weight.  Had I been with her in person she likely would have chuckled.  (Chuckling is an awesome word and far too underused.)  She did say yes though. She liked the idea of us pouring out our collective hearts in a blog for the world to see so long as we aren't conjoined in the process.
So who am I? I live in Massachusetts. I am a mother and a wife. I am the sweet one.  I am Cousin Choco as in chocolate! I love anything sugar, sugar, sugar!  Remember Super Sugar Crisp?! "Can't get enough Super Sugar Crisp! It's got the crunch with the punch!" Yeah, it was never the same when the manufacturers were bullied into changing the name.
Where was I? Right. I'm a grammar girl who loves commas and sentences that start with I. I'm vain like that but since this is about me... I guess that's alright.  I am here because I am trying to lose weight. Mostly for me but there's this small part of me that wants to show my doctors I'm doing it right and nothing is happening. Am I doing it right? Probably not. Mostly yes but sometimes no. I like pie.
What I am doing correctly is my exercise. At least I think I am. I am trying to get at LEAST 10k steps a day and I have started a Couch to 5k program.  It's pretty fun because the zombies try to eat me.  I think I have told everyone at some point that I'd only run when I was being chased. I guess that's true.  Holy Flash, Batman! I was running at 7.14 mph at one point. Granted it was for like 15 seconds but I did it.  I (where's the italics on this thing?) I  (there.) ran!  I did it. I ran for 15 seconds 10 times and thought huh, I didn't die! I DIDN'T DIE!
I should probably have a goal to keep on track and make me update the blog on a regular basis.  I'm currently 179.8lbs. and my main goal is completing the Couch to 5k program.  I should be working on that every other day. Tomorrow is a 10 minute walk followed by 10 intervals of 1 minute walking and 15 seconds running then a 10 minute free form run. Or as I call it another walk with a couple of bursts of speed.
