Push It! Push It Good!

Day 105

I'm not bragging. I swear.

But... Tonight I achieved a 14:22 minute mile. I have NEVER in my ENTIRE life jogged for one mile straight without walking. Until... tonight! Hell, I've never jogged for 14:22 minutes straight in my entire life either. Until... tonight!

The power of the mind and spirit is a beautiful thing. Once you get a taste of triumph, you want more. I'm definitely hungry for more. Each day I push a little harder and a little farther. I find it hard to put what I'm feeling into words. Empowered... Confident... Successful... Challenged... Motivated... Productive... They all fit. But, they don't quite cover it.

I am not just changing on the outside. I'm changing on the inside too in a very profound way. I am attempting and accomplishing things I never thought possible. Most of the time I just forge ahead and try not to think about it too much. But, I think it's important to acknowledge the inner transformation especially on the heels of my 14:22 minute mile.

The experts say that people who think losing weight will solve all of their problems will most likely fail or gain all the weight back. I take this statistic seriously because emotional eating has been an issue for me in the past. I don't think weight loss will solve my problems. But, the thing is, being heavy is my biggest problem. I have a loving husband, wonderful friends and family, a great job, and a nice home. The only thing in my life I would change is my weight. And, I'm doing that.

What do you want to change? Whatever it is, I encourage you to PUSH for it!

Cheers!
