My alarm rang at 4:30 AM. I had prepared last night. I had everything ready to go. I just couldn't get out of bed. It's okay. I got to run outside this morning. That's the best reward ever. I started and ended my run with these beautiful white blossoms that smelled so good. It was a good choice to sleep longer.
I've been thinking a lot about weight loss. I've decided that the beginning of my weight gain was when I reached life time at Weight Watchers. Reaching life time was a culminating event. I'd worked so hard for that number. In reality, the number wasn't the achievement. My achievement was establishing routines and habits that had allowed me to be healthy and active. I loved how I felt. I loved being able to run and feel great. I loved the confidence I felt when I made good food choices. I miss that - I miss it a lot. Can I be that person again? Of course I can. Is it a day away? A month? Unfortunately, it's not. That's okay. I can do hard things. I can put the time in that it will take to be healthy and happy again.
What can I do today to make today awesome? What can I do to make today a success?
1. Track. Today I will track everything I eat. I will weigh and measure the food I eat.
2. Water. Today I will drink 3 water bottles of water.
3. End of day. Today I will not eat after 7 PM
4. Move. Today I moved. I ran and felt great. This week my cardio will last at least 45 minutes.
I can do this. I will do this. I can do hard things.
