I just finished eating seriously what had to be the BEST salad ever! Don't ask me why but it was. Everything went together nicely and maybe because it's sunny and spring like outside!
So I hit a mental wall last week running. Matt and I decided to time a mile just for shits and giggles, only when I saw my time I was defeated. Now mind you I've only been running a little over 6 weeks and before that my idea of running was after the ice cream truck! I got into a funk then, just couldn't get past it. Didn't want to run anymore. This is after I got my monthly measurements (6 inches baby!) so I should have been flying high. Such an over achiever I am. So Monday I asked my friend Kennedy how you get past a brick wall like that, and her answer was simple, THROW OUT THE STOPWATCH! I'm not running for time, I'm running because I like it and it makes me feel good. In the last 10 weeks I have lost 30lbs and I'm down 4 pant sizes. I've knocked my goals out 1 by 1. Next up my first 5K in June! I'm trying to run a 5K or road race every month. By the end of the year I hope to log 100 miles! Thank you awesome app on my phone!
If you asked me at the beginning of the year what my goals were, honestly it was just to keep a better budget, which I have been doing. Now I'm finding ways to challenge myself everyday. I can't wait to get out of work and go home and run. I've seen the effects of changing habits and how it can postively affect your life and the lives of those around you!! I'm more than willing to cheer on or help anyone who wants to change their habits too! Every beginning starts with one step, and it's a journey not a race.
Daily mantra: NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!
