Today was a great day. I hit a new stride of running for an hour and got to 4.66 miles. I was thinking back, and I would have never imagined a year ago that I could even possibly do this. So if nothing else I have that.
The thing I'm struggling with is balancing my eating habits with exercise. Its almost like since I know I'm exercising consistently that I convince myself it is okay to eat poorly. I'm not sure exactly where that comes from, but it is making it difficult to meet my weight loss goal that I am so close to.
I bought a watch today that tells me how far, fast, how many steps, and my heart rate. It is mostly accurate, but I think it will help to run outside which I still struggle with.
2 Months to go.... I can't wait until I reach that finish line because it will mean so many things. I was talking to a friend of mine about why I'm doing it. Its closure to the year, this is a year where I've built my confidence and it has shown in my marriage, work, and physically. I know if I ever will have confidence to run 13 miles, now is the time.
I was listening to a song while running by Vienna Teng. In one of the lyrics it says, "Like a phoenix, I rise from the ashes." That is what this year is about, rising from the ashes.
Hey Sarah! It's Sarah (Curtis) Johnson. Anyway, just saw your blog on FB and thought I'd "stop by". Anyway, I love the posts! Keep them coming. I am really wanting to get this baby weight off, but having a hard time...especially since I am limited in what I can do as far as exercising, etc. Thanks for the motivation! I'm really wanting to make a life change! If you get a chance, check out our blog....johnsonfamilyblogger.blogspot.com.
