Reunited and it Feels So Good

Yeah its something like that!

I have this problem and its me wanting to get in shape, eat healthier, etc. I have this love/hate relationship with exercise. Recently I have hated it and for no apparent reason...just because. I hate the vicious cycle of 'I've been working out almost every day for 3 weeks straight' and then 'oh I'm on vacation or I'm sick so I've stopped working out for a week' then it becomes hard to restart your workouts again! The past few days have been succesful. At least I like to think so. I have never really had a problem eating healthy...its my portion sizes and when I eat that has hurt me. It is not the diet I'm worried about its the go out and exercise thing. I started to do Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and I can't say I'm seeing results yet...but my body feels it, trust me.

Today was a turning point...a good one.

Last night, I had every intention of getting up early this morning, 6 to be exact and go for a walk/run whatever I felt in the mood for. Well the going to bed at 11:30 and not actually falling asleep until sometime after 1:30 made getting up impossible. I wound up getting up at 10 and decided I got to push myself if I want this! There is this nice walking area outside about 20 mins from where I live so I decided to head there. I started walking...one foot in front of the other. It felt good. I walked 2 miles today in the extreme heat! :/ I could have went farther but was compeltely out of water and was soaked in sweat! But through all of that I pushed just a little further. I got back to my car and felt like I havent felt in quite some time. I think I was just so bored with what I was doing before the same old things. I know I need to mix up what I do. Walking on some days, Jillian on others, strength train on some others! I think tomorrow I will get up at the time I wanted and head back to the same place. I won't be in the heat or the sun and hopefully I can get farther than today!

But these past few days have just begun a long journey to get where I want to be, the endorphines are what makes me want to come back for more. Its that feel good feeling and I love it!
