6 months out

May 21, 2011

Well, I used to always say that I will only run when being chased. Now...I am actually running on the treadmill. I thought I would never do that. I used to come up with every excuse in the book to avoid it or as to why I shouldn't do it. I feel good and am actually able to move a lot easier, so running isn't so bad. I am losing an average of a pound a week now, which is somewhat frustrating due to the lack of big numbers that were coming off before. However, I have to keep in mind any loss is better than nothing. The closer one gets to goal, the slower the loss. My goal weight is within my grasp, but still slow going. I wish I could wake up tomorrow morning and be at goal. I know, I know, it didn't come on over night, so it won't come off over night. I'll just keep trucking along and appreciate the small accomplishments that come with weight loss...smaller clothes, smaller shoes, the ability to move without pain, waking up feeling refreshed versus stiff, etc. Lastly, it is weird to hear people say I'm skinny. I still don't see myself as skinny. I guess in comparison, I am skinny. People don't recognize me, so I have to reintroduce myself. That's kind of fun. The journey continues and I continue to be up for the challenge. Goal weight here I come.
