daily motivation

So, I have been having trouble getting motivated lately. My heart just really isn't in it.

This morning I drug my butt out of bed and as I was standing in front of the mirror trying to pull my hair back before my run, I was looking at my body thinking "ugh...look at that roll of fat".

I took off out the door, plodding along, cursing myself for even thinking I was capable of even THINKING a woman of my age could embrace this healthy stuff and consider running a half marathon. What was I thinking.

Six miles later I bust back in through the front door. Hot, sweaty, panting, but feeling GREAT knowing that I just completed yet another six mile run and didn't DIE!

I went back to the bathroom to undo my hair and as I stood there looking at myself in the mirror this time I noticed my smile. Now, that roll of fat no longer looked so HUGE. My body is slowly transforming and I am liking it.

The end result is definitely worth the hassle. If anyone else is struggling to get motivated and just that first step, tell that voice in your head to SHUT THE HELL UP! Because at the end of the day, you have another voice that you would much rather listen to.

Peace.
