Mind, body, spirit. We’ve heard that before, but is there something I haven’t discovered yet? This being the first six months of my life undergoing physical stress so that I can get my body back to where it belongs, I … Continue reading
So I never thought that I could discipline myself to run consecutively for more than 10 days. I had settled for overweight/obese size 14 for the rest of my life, so never in a million years did I think I could achieve this. Well I have.
I’ve never been the most athletic person I knew, but I sure thought I was close. And that’s sad when your perception of yourself does not line up with reality. Well, I’m trying to fix that.
I got sick a couple of weeks ago. Called in from work & other duties and indulged myself in action movies! I love action movies, especially the ones where the girl kicks everyone’s ass. So I watched Hanna. Highly recommend it.
I found myself feeling really lazy. Granted, I was sick on my bed wrapped up in covers with a neck headache. I still was thinking to myself, what the hell, beth? Why can’t you be fit and awesome? I had an appointment with my health coach and I made it a goal of mine to bust my ass for an awesome body!
7 months ago I weighed 195. Before I started running I weighed 185. This morning I weighed 172. Whatever I’m doing is working.
At the beginning it SUCKED. Running was hell, and I wished it would get easier. I kept at it, once a week for about a month, twice a week, then I just went for the gold and ran as much as I could.
And you finally know when you love running, when you can take a deep breath in the middle of the run and feel awesome. It was easy now. I just get up and go.
It took hard work, but now I can run everyday without getting unbearably sore the next day. Yay for me!
Thanks to Pinterest motivational boards and a very inspiring friend, I’m motivated to work my ass off for an amazing body. I started this “running every day thing” about 2 weeks ago, and I’m seeing results now! A beautiful pair of seafoam green shorts that I bought at the beginning of the summer were too snug for me then- they fit now!! Whether its because I’m running or toning, it’s working!
I knew it would work, I’m not stupid. But I didn’t know that I would let myself have it. The most rewarding fact is that I did it. I had the balls to fight for a healthier, thinner body, and I’m getting it. Slowly but surely.
Next goal: 5K!
