Today I started my exercise and training. I know it's only one mile, but it's the first intentional exercise I've done in a year, maybe even two. Amazing, considering how much weight I gained over those 24 months. But, I'm walking away from that and walking toward a fourteener in Colorado and let's not forget the 20k.
Today was the very first mile, the very first day of this challenge that I've laid out for myself. I started the Walk Away the Pounds today and I did a mile. Whoo! Hoo! Me. :D I'm proud of myself for doing it. I said, I would start today and guess what? I did it. I put on my tennis shoes, shorts and a t-shirt that really feels a bit too tight and I put the DVD in and started walking. I did a mile. Now, I know some people would say, "So, what? A mile? That's it?" But that mile was the beginning the first of many to come. I'm laying down each mile and they are going to lead me where I want to go. Each month I'm going to challenge myself to something new for a set amount of time and build on it. I'm not going to burn myself out right away, I'm building and training and I can do anything for 30 days. Consistency and challenge and progress through action are my buzz words. I can do this. I am doing thing. I am strong and I am going to continue to improve my health and body.
Here is my food log from yesterday. It was a little off with the timing because my husband was sick and I hardly had time to breathe let alone sit down and eat dinner. But, I stuck to the plan and I ate healthy, nutrient rich foods and I didn't even take a taste of those deliciously tempting chocolate brownies from Panera's that were for the kids. I'm proud of myself for not putting that into my body. If I still want it, I can have it on my free day. :D
