So, what do you do when you get kicked in the teeth and you are reminded again, that you aren't "all that?"
You set a goal and you achieve it!
I have set my goal. I will run the Turkey Trot this November on Thanksgiving Day.
To do that, I have started a walk to run plan that I have added into my water aerobics. In addition, I'm going to rejoin Curves for strength and toning. I hate spending the money, but I have to do something. It is the only way to get back in to the game.
I don't want to be passed over by a really nice guy because my physical appearance screams that I don't do anything but sit on my arse when I really have an enjoyable life. Sadly, looks matter, no matter how hard we claim that they don't.
That isn't the only reason though. I have set a second goal of getting completely off these pills by December. I hate that I'm taking pills again for my heart and my thyroid. I know that it has a great deal to do with my weight. Maybe my getting that down, the pills will go away too.
So, this blog now has a new purpose. I will be charting my progress here and I will, which much dread, post pictures of my progress. I guess that's one way to be honest with myself.
Today: walked 30 mins on the track and then took a water aerobics class. Not eaten very much, and one meal was McDonald's (crispy chicken sandwich, fries and Sprite.) I made a homemade vanilla/peach smoothie between the walk and the aerobics. I haven't had dinner yet, but that is coming next. Probably a rice dish. Almost too tired to eat. I wasn't planning to walk and do aerobics on the same day, but I didn't want to put off starting to walk. "Hell's Kitchen" and "Master Chef" is inspiring me to fix something soon! :)
