The journey isn't about losing weight it's about getting my body into shape so I can chase my kids around. I figure that I will lose weight along the way, my starting weight is 146, I look forward to watching the scale go down.
Today I was excited to do my running. I woke up with the goal to run a mile and see if I can. I used the treadmill today because it is just to darn hot outside. I started out walking to warm up, then kicked it up to 3.8mph and I did it, I ran my 1st mile. I thought I would have a harder time but it really actually went good. I was so excited and proud of myself.
I had a little moment of stress when I first started, the kids were in bed, Jr was doing stuff in the garage and I had a moment of feeling guilty that I should be doing so many things besides running. I worked thru my guilt and was very happy to be running.
I felt so good all day after I finished, running gives me a boost of energy and joy.

1st steps
Today is August 13th a very fitting day because today I am embarking on my 13 mile journey. This is my journey from not being able to run a mile to running a 1/2 marathon. I want to do this to prove to myself that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. This will not only be a physical journey but an emotional one. I have a lot to overcome not only physically but emotionally. I am not good at doing things for myself, I always feel selfish when I am doing something for myself, that I should be doing something for someone else. This is a huge challenge I will over come, because in the long run getting healthy and finding peace with my body will help my family.
It was a pretty nice morning so I decided to take my 1st steps with my babies. I put them in the big jogging stroller and started out on my journey. I walked to the corner and back, then jogged to the other corner and back. I felt like a bowl of jelly jigging all over the place, it was really hard but I told myself I could make it to the corner and back.
I didn't look at a clock or keep track of how far I went, I just wanted to do what I could. I felt great all day, I was excited and actually craving more. I look forward to tomorrow.
