Today I committed to working out extra hard and long. Considering what I ate this week I really needed to do this. I burned 700 cals... 700 people! That's the most I have ever done in one work out. I biked 6.7miles and jogged 3.4miles.
A few things I wanted to talk to my cysters about, more like a few rambling thoughts that have been going through my brain the last few days.
I figured since I am a little past my half way point in all this, I need to set my next goal. My new goal is to lose 50lbs. Now that I know I CAN do this, it wont be as hard. I never really did actually think that it was possible for someone like me to be motivated this much. And now that I am, I feel amazing. Losing 50lbs will put me at a desired healthy weight with a balanced BMI. I am not saying I am going to lose another 50lbs, that would be insane in the membrane. Just that my new total weight lose will be 50lbs.
This is also my last month of being a vegetarian (Lent), I have grown to love this diet; not because I think what they are doing to animals is cruel (which in some cases they are) or because I just wanted to try something new. Its mainly because its been a big part of my life ever since I can remember. I am sorry to say that I love meat. I don't think I could ever become a full time vegetarian, nor would I want to. I love me some chicken and steak. But this last month that I have been a vegetarian, its been heavenly. But in all honesty I am ready to cook up a nice lean steak and chicken and bit into it.
I was thinking the other day, well more like wondering. What my life would be like right now if I had not taken this jump to a healthier me. And I can tell you that I don't even want to start to picture it in my mind. I could have just let myself go or kept eating my way through life not caring. But I realized that this whole thing of me becoming more healthy isn't just going to benefit me. Its change my world and everyone else around me, my husband, my friends, and my family. And without their love and support through all this I would still be that unhappy girl. But I am not. I made the choice to change for the better. It was me who was dead inside and who feels more a live now then ever. I am getting my self back to healthy and becoming more of the role model I want to be. I am not going to be that person who just gives up, I have come this far. Why would I stop now?
Okay I am going to stop with the sappy pep talk and go shower this sweat off. Believe not only in yourself, but in the people you love.
