5.12 miles, 52 minutes, 720 calories. I did it.
As I started my run today, I was ready to push it. I had already set the bar last week; I ran 4 miles in 40 minutes. {I can't get worse, right?} So, I pushed myself to run those 4 miles. Once I got there, I realized I could go further. So, 5 miles was the goal. I ran my little heart out. It hurt... alot. But I DID IT! I was so proud of myself. I have not ran 5 miles in, ever? I finished my workout with a 20 minute ab workout.
Is this really it? Am I finally going to lose the weight I have been wanting to lose for 5 years?
I have been eating so healthy. Temptations are not that bad and I am feeling great. I have a long way to go but treating my body right feels oh, so good.
So why now? Why is this go-around different?
I think it is because I am truly happy. I am not trying to lose weight for anyone or anything. I am wanting to create a healthy lifestyle & feel more comfortable in my skin. I am doing this for me.
I heard a quote the other day that has been running through my mind:
"Change your thoughts and change your world."
This statement couldn't be more true. Having positive and happy thoughts about myself and life has been a motivation to creating a healthier me!
Healthy Wishes,
Alex
