"Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer. "
Percy Cerutty, an athletics coach in the 1950s and 1960s
Where do I start? How did I let it get this far? I can't believe how many times I have started and stopped dieting, exercising, etc. I keep saying I have the best reasons (EXCUSES!!!!) - my heels hurt (which they do. It feels like I am walking on blocks of wood.) But when I put my tennis shoes on, they feel better. I really need to go to the doctor and get another shot in my heels but it hurts like HELL!!!!!! Also since I have gained so much weight, I am not balanced and I get tired too easy and more and more excuses. Well since I started this blog to help my on my journey to getting FIT, and I have written down all my excuses to not get FIT, it is time to- as I say - shit or get off the pot!
I have literally lost all my self esteem, self confidence, and became depressed or lazy - I haven't decided which it is but I know it's not just about my weight gain but other things in my life. All issues in my life lead me back to the way I feel about myself and my weight. So...it is time to take control and take care of me because when I haven't been taking care of me, everything else in my life suffers - the house, my husband, the kids, etc. I am also doing this because my 10 year old son needs help losing weight and I know I am not the best role model for him by being overweight and unhealthy.
I am ready to start living my life to the best of my ability. Today is the first day of the rest of my wonderful life and I am going to be the best Mom, Wife, Daughter and Friend I can be and that starts now!
I am going to start my Couch to 5K app that I have on my iPod tomorow morning and go to the grocery and stock up on all good foods.
I hope, by reading about my journey, that it can inspire someone to change their life. I also welcome your words of wisdom to help me on my journey. I started this blog so I can be held accountable. I found this list - 101 Kicks in the Butt on Runners World. So feel free to ask me how I am doing on this journey. It's going to be hard but it has to be done! Thanks for joining me for the best run of my life!
