FEEL THE BURN

My calves are burning this morning...I haven't worked out in over a year and my body is screaming at me for it. I hate to get excited about working out because I have a tendency to give up rather quickly but I cannot help but to acknowledge my increased level of motivation!! I finally decided that it was time to buckle down and lose weight (the right way) through healthy eating and increased activity. For the last few weeks I've been feeling DEPRESSED, no lie. After a few weeks of not stepping on a scale, I saw my weight and wanted to die. I tried to figure out whether I wanted to start out eating better or working out (beause it seemed like it would be easier to do one first then incorporate the other later) but I wasted so much time trying to decide that I finally told myself just do both! It doesn't hurt to throw my whole heart and soul into this. I feel like I'm falling in love with myself again. It's similar to that feeling you get when you first start dating someone you really like. So far, I look forward to my 60 minute date with myself on the treadmill. I cannot wait for the day when my legs can handle running for at least 25 minutes. My first day on the treadmill I did run, for only 2 minutes, but it was very uplifting. I was highly proud of myself. And to keep myself motivated even more...As I start my walk I am going to think of a great reason for wanting to lose weight/get in shape and I will post it on my Facebook as a daily reminder as to why I am doing this.
My workout motto is: If I can do it ONE day, I can do it EVERY day!
