So today is day numero UNO and boy am I SCARED! I have never really lost weight in my life. I just gradually have gained little by little over the years. I love to exercise but have not done so in years. I finally decided to sign up for a diet bet and let me tell you I am TERRIFIED. I had my husband take my picture yesterday to get verified and it really upset me. I kept looking at the picture and just feeling sad and hopeless. Last night I was so down and hard on myself and all sorts of negative and painful thoughts rushed in my head. I kept telling myself 'this will NEVER work" and I just have to deal with it.
WELL, today is a different story. So far my first day has been WONDERFUL! For the last month I have slowly been training my body to start running again and trust me when I say my body was resisting! About four weeks ago I tried to run a mile and I couldn't even do a lap! I kept going to the gym and I tried really hard and today of all days I was finally able to complete my goal of running 4 MILES without stopping! Yes, my time was pretty slow (49 minutes) but who cares! I RAN 4 MILES!!!!!! I am so proud of myself and now I get to make a new running goal.
This fitness goal has completly changed my mood about this DIET BET!I know that the next 27 days might not be as great as this one but I am hopeful and I know that I can do it if I keep on tyring just like I completed my running goal. It is just about NOT GIVING UP!
I HOPE THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING A GOOD FIRST DAY AS WELL AND IF NOT DONT WORRY! JUST DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!! ALL OF YOU WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS TONIGHT, LOL :) !!!!!!!!
