3 Seconds From Goal Today!

                So yesterday was a pretty good time at the gym. I showed up hit the stair stepper with my sister and that kicked my butt.. seriously for 3 min. Got on the treadmill and got to it. It always feels so good that when I am almost out of breath but I thank God for being able to run/walk and helping me on my journey. Today I talked my self up to the goal of 14:40 to walk/run. I started out using 10 lb weights on each side to try and get rid of this yucky jiggle arm fat then it was off to the treadmill. I pushed myself today and used the frustration and the bad day I had and used my issues to get to where I wanted to be and I pretty much made my goal. I gave myself the benefit of the doubt since one kinda have a bum left hip and 2 was running today and decided to about choke myself on my saliva. (Yes for you who don't know me well, I am very clumsy!) ANYWAYS, I feel really good. Really strong and powerful and regardless of what comes my way in my life I know that I always have a really strong support system and God has my back so I can overcome any obstacle that arises. 

                I did weigh today and it said 247.4 and that kinda bummed me out but I was told maybe I am gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. I am hopeful that is the case. I really want to see that number shrink and go bye bye but I know logically it won't happen overnight. I need to keep up the blood, sweat and tears routine and still keep "Go Hard or Go Home" mentality! There are days where it is going to be hard but having this and having faith and friends is something I am not gonna be willing to give up easily!


To those reading this who don't think they have it in themselves to be healthy and happy, I have this for you... You should have a time where there are no distractions, no phone no nothing and just you and your thoughts whether it's driving, sitting at a park and search deep within yourself and ask your self some questions. How can this benefit me? How will this help me mentally and physically? How will this help with possible self-esteem issues and/or depression?  How can this make me a stronger person inside and out?
                    Seriously love this post I read on Facebook and it has helped me many times since I read it. "Stop doubting yourself, work hard, and make it happen!" Powerful words that could not be truer! One more before I go is.. "Look in the mirror. You are now looking at the person responsible for your happiness."

                      Wrapping up today's blog and that is all she wrote... thank you for reading my words and supporting me. Today is a beautiful day and I am going to go soak up the sun!!

Live like it's your last day, Laugh till your gut is sore, & Love with no effort!
