Yesterday, I decided to run on campus instead of in my
parking lot. So I got dressed, planned
my route online (www.mapmyfitness.com), and drove to campus. And ran
an 11:28 minute mile. Uh, that would be
a pace that is 45 seconds FASTER than my fastest time to date. TO DATE.
That’s all of them. ALL. Every.
You get it :) 45 seconds! Okay,
now I’m done.
I was performing for an audience. Take driving.
Never mind, I should stay away from driving :).
You get the idea though.
I have come to a turning point if you will. I am choosing to eat healthier, to listen to
the signals my body sends me. It’s quite
fascinating really. I have green
beans. I choose to eat all of them instead
of just half. I’ve had chocolate in my
apartment for weeks. Ice cream? Not interested. Munching.
No longer a problem.
Thanksgiving. Didn’t
overeat. I’m not sure what happened, but
I’m not messing with it. Maybe it's because I don't watch TV anymore. That's mostly because I don't have time. No, this would not be a "you don't make time" instance. I quite literally do not HAVE time.
I don’t know
what my total weight loss is. I couldn’t
tell you how much I weigh. All I know is
in the month of November I lost 5 pounds.
3 of the 4 weeks were losses, and I maintained (true maintain) one
week. That’s all I know. I’m not focusing on the big picture long term
goal weight almost a year down the road.
I’m focusing on right now.
Today. Tomorrow. This week.
That’s it. That’s all the brain
power I can allocate anyways. Lose
weight daily. Exercise regularly. Make choices.
Sit in a bouncy desk chair :). (Just thought I'd throw that one in for fun). Last night, I actually only bought the items on my list at the grocery
store. I didn’t even think it was
possible.
I think sometimes we try to equate “healthy” with “complicated”. It doesn’t have to be, but you have to WANT
it. It's not a diet. It's a life style change. Until next time,
:)
