From Cocoon to butterfly

Well, after doing a lot of inner thinking about why I do the way I do, I came down to the simple sentence, I want to lose weight. OK, sounds way to simple but it worked. It was like the switch I have been looking for alll this time. For months now I have been saying, if I do this, then this will happen and when this happens, I am this. Always negative and always for something. I finally just said, you know what, I just want to lose wieght. And it was like a light just went off in the blackness of dieting. Really strange but it worked and that is all that matters. I am not going to count the days I keep on plan, I am just going to take it day by day, that is all.

I have been doing well on keeping my exercise up and I was on the treadmill yesterday btw classes and I thought, I wonder if I could run. So, I upped the speed on the machine and started running. I have never been able to run or anything like that but you know what, I was running! And if you could have seen me, I had a maniac grin on my face. I was so proud of myself! Although the time wasn’t that long, only about two minutes, it was still 2 min. of staright running and it was so cool. Now, I have a new goal. I want to get to four min. of running and then grad. extend it. Who would of thought, me, running!!
