Good morning all!
I say this as I sit at my desk at work hoping and praying that time will fly by today. I just have no desire to be sitting at a desk all day, day after day. I guess it’s not so bad however, due to the fact that it has been cold and rainy since Saturday. That doesn’t leave one with much motivation to get outside and run.
I’ve been looking back at this journey I made over a year ago. I never would have thought I would be where I am in so many different aspects. As I enter my senior year in college I thought I would still have my best friend to give me support when I am weak, that maybe I would have even ended up with him. I also never thought I’d ever weigh anything less than 170 pounds. Somewhere deep down inside of me thought that no matter what, I couldn’t break the 170s.
I still remember the excitement, the joy of seeing a 160-something number appear for the first time. Yes! I did it! If I could do that, anything was possible in my book. Fast forward through the best summer of my life. By the time my birthday rolls around my roommate moves out and Craig starts putting some distance between us. But…..I’m at 155! So I thought things were still pretty good.
And then life got bad.
But here I am now, starting over. Scared? Oh you betcha. But will that deter me? No way. I’m here for round 2. I want to set a goal of 130 pounds. I don’t have a timeline for this one, it’s just what I want to shoot for in the end. For now, now being this summer, I’d like to shoot for a 10 pound loss leaving me at 155. I lost a lot of my weight relatively quickly last summer, but I was up and moving a lot after surgery. I had a lot of time to be outside walking and such. Hopefully I can make the new adjustment to working 10 hours a day and making time to run and workout every day.
How do you find time with all the extra stuff outside of work?
