I started going to the gym on January 3. It was a chore and there were many other things I would rather do. Most of those things included eating chocolate and drinking milkshakes. However, I knew that I needed to change. I did not like what I saw when I looked in the mirror and I did not like the way I felt. So, I went to the gym even thought I would have rather sat on my butt, ate chocolate and done nothing.
After a while, it started to become fun. I started looking forward to it.
In a month I lost 13.2 pounds. I was amazed.
The thing that has amazed me more than anything else is what I can do now. I can run, not far but I couldn't even run a little bit before. And I love going to the gym now. I even had a breakdown last week. After getting a cortisone shot in my foot and it wasn't getting any better I was beyond upset. All I could think about was how much I enjoyed running and how I could do they one thing I have come to love because it hurt so bad.However, today I started Women Can Run. And I did it pain free. I was so worried. And I was worried it would be hard and I couldn't do it. And I did. I am so proud of myself. It's amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.
And the weigh in for my official two months........... I HAVE LOST 25 POUNDS !!
15 more to go until my goal of 40 before May 11. I know that I am getting to the top of the hill, but I know it's not going to be an easy way down. I am excited for the changes I am seeing in myself and can't wait to see more!In other news I submitted my portfolio for review. I must make an 80% to get to do my internship course and graduate. I would like us all to collectively cross our fingers.
And yes the picture below is a iPhone screen shot, I'm cool like that.
Have a great night!
