Running Like the Wind

Okay, so maybe I didn't run as fast as wind - but - I did run tonight for 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT on the treadmill at a pace of 5.5!!!! I am so proud of myself! What's more - I didn't slow down because I was physically tired, I resumed to a walking pace after 5 minutes because mentally I couldn't push myself that far. Weird right? Well this is something I need to work on more next month: the mentality of running.

It's funny too, because when I was running I was thinking to myself, "this is great I can write my post tonight on how I ran for 4 minutes, oh but 5 minutes would be so much better than 4" and then I would push myself for another minute. I love how this blog inspires me and pushes me to do more. I never thought I would be an avid blogger because I consider myself a private person, but this little thing really holds me accountable for my actions - making myself answer to ... myself at the end of the day (and all of you of course).

I spent a lot of time today in awe over how much I have accomplished in the last 4 months! Seriously - 46 pounds gone! I can't even imagine what i'll look like at my goal weight. The funny part of this weight loss thing is that it isn't necessarily hard per se, the most difficult part of it is the commitment and dedication, if you have those two qualities the weight will just melt off your body. Luckily, I possess those qualities and have been fortunate to see some incredible results. But honestly, these last 4 months have flown by - I cannot believe it! Let's hope the next 54 lbs come off as easily as the first 45 did...
