Baby "Steps"

So my biggest problem is not my motivation or procrastination. Money. Yea..Big Surprise!!! The girl who cant afford her own shoes doesn't have any money. Why, pray tell is it of any importance if I have money or not? Other then the obvious reasons that it makes the world go round in its corrupt way- it also pays for work out clothing, new shoes that are fitness appropriate, work out gear, gym memberships and food. Not that I am starving HA! but healthy foods are expensive! And Me? I am broke.So what can we do, us lazy girls in hopes to be fit again. What can we do to be fit that is cost effective(or in layman's terms: Cheap)?
I was thinking about this((in the winter time still)), as I lay on the mattress and My beloved came to lie next to me. He (like a wonderful attentive boyfriend)asked me what was wrong. At this I got a little misty eyed . "whats wrong?" I said softly,"Whats wrong is i am fat! I have no money, I don't like myself and i am ugly!" At this he fallowed the cue to tuck me under his hard and rested his head at my fore-head "You."He states,"You are a beautiful person, Your not fat, you are broke, but you are broke with reason." (He's Charming, but I think its half expected for men to say such things as to stay out of the proverbial dog house) I Half smile up at him, "Its just....I want to change, I want to be happy and i want to be healthy." He looked down at me and said" Well good! You want to change-" To which I interrupt(I am bad for it but have gotten better.) "Yeah, but I have no money for it." He then says simply, "Then....Run."
To which I wish to jump up and down and claim he is genius...but didn't I just stared out the window above me. in my mind echoes "Run....run.."
So My attentive darlings, Who haven't yet to discover this blog and read it. I thought how does someone-who had the fitness level of cucumber-become a runner? I figure baby steps. What better to do then beat away the winters blues then walking. Better yet a walking group. I brought it up slyly to my friend Cole. She, who was more then willing, accepted my proposal. We Started Off just moseying, then just walked and eventually we started walking faster. We walked Monday-Thursday every week. We even had a few days that we went from 6:30 at night to 9:10! Go Us! But It was still winter and I told myself Spring, I will start jogging in spring. Everyday, "I will start jogging in spring."
