I just did something that makes me more proud of myself than the weight loss this week. I just ran 1.05 miles. (at speed of 4 mph). I've never run even close to a half mile before, I am not even sure I've completed a 1/4 mile, even. And I felt like I could keep going, but I'd hit 2 miles tonight and 408 calories, so I figured it was ok to stop.
I can't believe it, seriously. It felt amazing. I was able to keep my breathing in check, and I just went forward with "ok, I just want to get a 1/4 mile." Then I wanted to get to a half mile. Then I felt good so, why not try for 3/4 of a mile. Then I said, hell, I'm going all the way, baby! And I did it!
So now that I know I CAN do it, I'm going to try to make sure I get a mile jogging in at least 3 times a week, more if I can. And if I can keep going, well, then I'll try for 2 miles!
God I feel so proud of my body today. So proud. (I really really hope I don't sound all I am awesome here. I know I'm not awesome. And I certainly hope I don't sound braggy. I'm just really motivated and I like posting here, it keeps me motivated).
