Today's Kick in the Butt

I so don't want to go out running today.

I'm feeling like just curling up inside and being a slug.

The scale was up to 230 again this morning. I've been doing everything right, but I'm stuck in this 3lb fluctuation. It's frustrating. And it's making it so much harder to get my butt out the door this morning.



Yeah. I know. I'll regret it in the long run if I don't go. I'll be stuck. Not necessarily here. I will be stuck at closer to 240+lbs. I deserve better. I deserve to reach my goals. But I've gotta do the hard work.

If I don't get out there and do it today:
emoticon it will basically make all my hard work this week useless.
emoticon It'll undo everything I'm striving for.
emoticon I can forget reaching my next 10lb weight loss goal by July 25.
emoticon There are no plus sides to not getting out there today.

I'm only 3 days in, so there is NO WAY I'm going to count this as my one day off this week. I am NOT in pain, I am NOT sick. NO WAY am I going to allow LAZY to be a valid excuse





If I force myself out the door today:
emoticon I will be so proud of myself for being able to get 'er done today
emoticon I will not be undoing all my hard work for these past few days
emoticon I'll bet once I'm out there I'll get my second wind and want to push.
emoticon It's the only hope I have at seeing a loss on the scale anytime soon
emoticon I just might be able to push myself into some endorphins ... maybe

I am stronger than this lazy impulse I've got right now.

I want this.

Hoping for it won't make it so.

Working for it is my only hope of getting there.



You've tried this sitting in the chair and wishing and hoping for the body you want. It hasn't worked. In fact, you've gotten farther and farther away from it the more you sat here and wished. Yes, diet and nutrition is important. But I KNOW my body. I can't loose weight that way. My metabolism slows. I start to pack away fat like a squirrel storing for the winter. I end up fighting my body, instead of working with it.





Two paths. A year from now:

If I don't, I will have earned the body with the extra 50lbs of fat. I won't want to go out in public in a bathing suit. I will hate clothing shopping. I will be depressed, and trapped in a body I do not want. But that will be what I will have earned.


If I get up and get my workout in, I'm on the path to fitness. On the path to the body I want. It's the only way I'm going to get there.





Lee wants you all the time now. Imagine how he'll feel if you could shed these pounds? Even your kids told you how great you look when you are not carrying these extra pounds around. He deserves that. He deserves to see you at your best. To have you at your best. To be so proud that someone who can look like that loves him.

*************UPDATE****************
Back from my run. It wasn't a complete successful run, but I did get out there, burned some calories, ran almost 1.5miles. I will tackle C25K Week2Day1 again soon. Either later today or tomorrow. No biggie.

I'm so proud of myself for getting out there and giving 'er hell. I did it. Now to bask in the endorphins and relax. Eat some fruit salad. Maybe more...
