NSV!

I have always been the one to go to the YMCA, look into the fitness area, see all the fit people....and go walk on the track in the gym part, or the outside walking track. I was so shy I hated going on the treadmill next to these fit people when I felt like I was double their size. I hit my 90 day mark, looked at my results and said to myself "I have nothing to be ashamed of..." So i went into the fitness center, got on a treadmill and started going. I wasnt sure which speed or elevation, so I copied the lady next to me going about 3.5mph with an elevation of 3. I went for a few minutes and was ok...then i started getting bored. So...I upped the elevation. THen after a few minutes did ti again until I felt challenged. I have been working out really hard at home but I didnt realize how much it paid off until I realized I was at 3.6mph at an elevation of 7 and was doing it JUST FINE! I was excited, and thrilled! When I finished and was cleaning off the treadmill, the (cute) guy on the treadmill next to me pulled off his ear buds and gave me a high five as he told me "nice burn!" For me it was a huge personal victory and NSV even though some of you reading this are thinking...thats all? Im so happy right now nothing can take me down

Love it! Every challenge overcome is a victory...none of them are small! Continue to celebrate ALL of your wins, you deserve them!

Good for you, for stepping outside your comfort zone. If you felt challenged, you did something good for your body. If you felt nervous and conquered that, you did something good for your mind. And a little validation from a cute guy never hurts anything, either!
