I needed a bit of a reality check because I know my emotions lie to me. I have been feeling like I haven't improved since I started this running thing in January. I "know" that's not true because I can run now and when I first started, I really couldn't. In the beginning I was excited to run for 30 seconds. Now I go five miles and get upset because I
had to walk(ed) several times. So, I went back to the beginning of this blog and started reading.
I KNEW writing it all down would come in handy!!
I have said I haven't lost any weight....and that's a lie. Since day one, I've lost a total of 7 pounds (on a good weight day). Seven pounds in a little over 4 months isn't as much as I used to be able to lose....but, it's more than nothing which is what I've been telling myself I've lost.
I just wanted to come clean with all of you. I feel better now.
:D
Don't beat yourself up! You can go 5 miles, even if you need to take a walk break every once in a while. I do, too! And 7 pounds is 7 pounds! Yea!!!!
ReplyDeleteGosh this post made me feel better about myself. And VERY proud of you Dana! You are doing great and 7 pounds? That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day my friend!
That's it - you lied, I'm done - never reading this blog again....Wait, I lied!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up -- glad you cleared the air. If it made you feel better, I'm glad! Ha!
