As soon as I took off on my 1 mile run tonight I felt tired, sluggish, and drained! My first thought was -
I'm never going to make it a mile without stopping! But I, immediately, switched off that bad thought, and told myself
- yes, you CAN run this whole mile. Do it. Keep going. Finish it. And I did! It feels good to push myself through things. That's a new thing for me. I like it. So, anyway, I got my run in today, and I did the 30 Day Shred.
I want to be out of the 220's by Friday, so I'm going to work my butt of this week!!
Awesome job on the run! Progress like this is a great NSV - doing something you never thought you could do, even as you're doing it! That push is tough but when you finish, there's such a great feeling of accomplishment. I like to think about my old self and how she never could have possibly imagined this life would be happening - she could barely walk a mile, let alone run one!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen your mindset shifts and you start doing that "CAN" talk and you actually realize that you "CAN" because you PUSHED yourself...it makes things a lot easier. It's how I got through that Jillian Michaels thing yesterday. I said, "NO! Don't quit! You don't want to be fat anymore?! THEN GO! GO! GO!!!!!!!"
And I did it.
Isn't it beyond refreshing?
Thanks, Mary and Chubbs! Yes, it feels so good to get through something that I'm convinced in the beginning I can't finish!
