Aug 1, 2012 I decide I needed to make a huge change. The day prior had been my 39 birthday. I decided then and there that I was going to do one physical thing for A year for myself. We all now how fast a year goes by. This time ZERO excuses allowed, too sick, I m sure I can walk, kids sick, I m sure daddy can handle it for half an hour. Well 54 days down.
What I can see.
First was I noticed I could sit up in bed without swinging my legs, funny I know but my abs were shot from last baby and I had not found them again, THERE BACK.
This past month I biked up a hill I would have avoided walking up.
Sunday I completed a 5 km race, signed up thinking even if I walk it I am still moving.
Well I did it, I jogged, and jogged. Walked less than 1 km.
I have hung my race number in my room.
Feeling so happy. Right now the scale numbers dropping matters a little less to me for I am so much stronger.
