Oh Hallelujah what a difference a day and a drop in humidity makes!!!! Kris and I ran the same route today and I was halfway finished when I realized WOW this is easy today. Okay not as easy as reading a fitness magazine but pretty close. The temp was 63 and there must have been low humidity because it was a breeze.
It is time to ramp it up and I need to bump the mileage up. Kris and I are looking for a 10k to do in February so if anyone knows of one shoot me a line. Okay now for my sappy stuff.
I am so grateful that when it gets tough that I don't quit. When you push past the excuses and the pain you feel so empowered like the feeling of accomplishment will filter over in the rest of your life and it does. I have been aggravated with myself because I gained back all 10 pounds that I had lost over the last years or so. As you know I am kind of small so 10 pounds to me is like 20 plus for my normal sized friends. Listen when you wear a size 2 and your still chubby now What is up with that???? So here I go again.
Kris and I are doing this
major kick butt work out from the Biggest Looser and it is not for whimps, I assure you we do our fair share of whining and groaning. Wouldn't it be nice if groaning burned calories? Well my point in this whole thing is that I can not do this fitness journey alone, I have the sweetest dearest friends who hang in there with me and we encourage each other. Thanks Betsy, Kris, Debbie and Becky!!!!
Kris and I are running together and Betsy and I are calling each other and saying, Go girl and trying to be good about writing everything down, Yes even the chocolate and coffee with buckets of cream in it. Okay I am a work in progress. Seriously we are doing a Clean Eating diet and I am trying to be really conscience of what I put in my body.
Oprah and I will let it all hang out and I will admit to you that I weighed 110 pounds just a few months ago and now I get on the scale and it says, "to be continued" Not really but I am weighing 120 pounds so I am laying it out there for all to see so we can celebrate together as I loose it. How many times have I said I will never gain this weight back!!!! Darn it.
Sooooo if you have tips or other great stories to share let me hear it.
Blessings to your day and...... "Circumstances can only affect you insofar as you allow them to do so" James Allen
