Well, I did it! I ran tonight. What was different? I was able to run a mile in 10:40!!! I stopped twice equaling almost a minute, but I DID IT!!! My goal is to get faster more than increasing my distance. 3.1 or even 4 miles is plenty.
I wish I could go back and show my former self and tell her "See!? This is the life you could have. To feel good. To not be out of breath from playing with the kids. To feel good about yourself in your own skin. Even your kids notice! Your daughter encourages you to exercise so you can 'be healthy'. Your husband even noticed how wonderful you look and said something about it! Your self esteem is up. You are no longer depressed. You have an amazing job that you finally enjoy. You are surrounded by amazing people who love you and who support you. Can't you see that YOU ARE WORTH IT!?"
You know what? I AM worth it! For me, my kids, my husband, my family and my friends. To be with them and to enjoy being with them instead of being a bump on a log. Screw that woman. I am so glad to leave those bad things behind. This is MY TIME, and it feels freaking amazing! I have proven that anyone can do it! There are no excuses and there will never be the perfect time to change your life. You just have to DO IT!
So, get up off your butts and go for walks with your kids or your dog. Just go alone to have some meditation time to reflect on your day and to thank God for the life you have :). You don't have to start running or walk for miles. Start small and work your way up. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish!
