Well, here we go again! It seems hysterical and kind of telling how many months have passed since my last post. I just reread the first two posts on this blog and have to kind of laugh. My determination just is pretty much like that. I get all fired up and then fizzle. But today I went to the gym. I decided part of my "problem" or at least my excuse dujour was that when I get home, my determination tends to desert me. SO - I have a gym near the house that is super cheap, and I thought maybe - just *maybe* making myself stop on the way home would help.

SO - I decided to go! I did it even though I almost had myself talked into skipping just ONE MORE day!! I only did two miles - but I felt great just getting out of the car - summoning up my courage to walk through the door and just do it! There were people running on the treadmill - and I think maybe it might motivate me to be out and doing my work with other people around. Seeing other people older than me, bigger than me, smaller than me and faster than me might just be the kick in the pants I needed to get moving and STAY moving. That's all I have to do is stay moving. A little more every day and then I will be in good shape and closer to my goal each day! So today - was a good day and tomorrow will be another good day. Smarter choices just a little at a time and hopefully I will look back in a few weeks and have some time & distance behind me! So, the hardest part is done - because STARTING is hard!
is the first day... the rest will be easier!! It is hardest to just get started. Once you have started, you are only doing something again - not starting something new! So - again - I am trying to just get going - and this time STAY GOING. I don't want to be a quitter any more - I want to be fitter. I am tired of being fatter. I don't want to be ashamed of myself anymore and I don't want to be an embarrassment to anyone else any more either. I want to show up to Ben's concert in SIX WEEKS and have him be proud of me. I want to be proud of myself. I would like TEN pounds to be gone. I would like to say I have a good number of working/walking days behind me! So the HARDEST day is done. On to tomorrow. From Struggle to Strength.
