Okay soo I've never felt proud enough to really post a No scale Vic, and this MAY just be that I am on a intense runners high right now, but I actually exceeded to of my goals in one run today. I ran a full 30 minutes and a full 3 miles.

Yes yes, i know this does not seem like a whole lot, but i have only ran one other time in montths.

The reason im excited for this is because I've been looking into doing a half marathon at the end of the summer or in about 14 weeks, and looking at a ton of training schedules you must be able to run a full 30 minutes and most schedules start at 3 miles. I for sure got bummed right away thinking well ****, i deffinitly can not do that therefore i wont be able to run a halfsie cause ill run out of time to train by the time i make it to a full 3 miles without stopping, I guess i proved mysel wrong tonight =)

another NSV--is i haven't been able to get off my *kitten* since i got home from europe. I just started my full time job/internship a couple days after i got back from traveling europe for 4 weeks so its been pretty tough to NOT sit on my *kitten* or in bed when im not working. I have about 20-25 pounds to lose, I am at 150 right now and barely any of my clothes fit, and i've been very, very down latlely because I feel like such caaa-rap. its been affecting my job too because i think about it during the day and just fall into a ****ty mood.

SO this is the marker of day THREE for me and i hope and hope and HOPE for hours that i can stay strong and never have to say day three again. losing this weight is something i want, and let alone NEED for myself and my confidence and my LIFE.

After getting out of a over 3 n a half year relationship from very, very diheartending circumstances I've been feeling pretty ****ty.

BUT today, or tonight, or right now on my high i feel like i can do anything, and i truly truly think its my time to SHINE this summer. I have an amazing opportunity with my internship this summer, its my first summer being single since 2005, I graduate in a year and a half, itd be crazy of me not to take this summer to shape up mentally, PHYSICALLY and emotionally and show MYSELF I can suceed in many ways.

So if anyone is even reading this and feeling idheartend today, please stop. please and thank you =) Keep working hard and DONT give up. if you ask any of my friends on MFP that i've been friends with for over a year, I literalllly have had over 50 day ones, over 50 i start tomorrows, over 50 Monday I am starting fresh. i have NEVER given up and thats the only thing I can honestly give myself credit for over the years, i have been through a lot and to this day i have not given up. I may have for a couple hours but the next day i wake up and start anew.

Anyway, hope you all had as great of a night as i did, and if not, theres always tomorrow =)


PS feel free to add me :)
