That's right yesterday I ran two miles at the gym and then I ran another two this morning. I can't tell you how much better I feel. I just stare at myself in the mirror and think to myself that I am actually doing this! I'm losing weight, I'm running! Ok, it's only at 4.0 so it's more like a show jog, but I'm doing it and I will get faster!
I'm so glad to be getting into shape. Today I realized that if my family was in danger I would be able to run with them. I've had a fear the last couple of years that I wouldn't be able to run with my girls to safety if we were in danger. But now that I'm getting in shape we are all better off!
And today I realized how much I love my body! I have not liked my body at all for the past four years. But today? Today I love my body. My body that ran TWO MILES! My body that made two beautiful daughters! My body that takes care of them. My body that loves my husband. My body that cooks, cleans, drives, smiles...when we stop to think about it it's amazing at how wonderful our bodies are. How many things we are able to do with them. I finally LOVE my body! I'm grateful for my body and I want to do everything possible to take care of it!
On Sunday I weighed 250.8.
Only a few days until we weigh and measure.
Thanks for helping me and motivating me to take better care of myself.
