A time of overcoming & dreaming...

Good day today! Man it was tough this morning to even get myself out of bed because of the rainy weather. Then when I got home from work the thought of working out was not exciting. I just wanted to cuddle up in bed & read. But we all know-- to get the results that you want to see (in anything) sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do. I did team workout (and my team is awesome) and then a KICK BUTT Taebo Class!

Just some random bullet points that have been in my mind.

Things I have overcome:

• I can somewhat do a pushup now. I could not even hold myself up before. (girly push up- but hey gotta start somewhere, right?)
• I can run for more than 15 seconds.
• I can climb stairwells and not feel like death is knocking.
• I COOK NOW! (if you want to call it that...) This is coming from someone who seemed to live off bars, lean pockets & sandwiches.  This was a big thing I had to overcome and I am just so proud of myself. For real. 
• My addiction to and carelessness about food.

Things I WILL DO once I am fit (or overcome in the near future) Dreams if you will:

• Hike the Camino in Spain
• Mountain Climb 
• Triathlons
  
• Maybe even go to get certified to teach group exercises or do training (for people like myself. I have a passion for wanting to help people who don't love themselves. I want them to be who they want to be on the outside but through it all learn how wonderful they are on the inside.) 
• I want to run big races with Jan Walker... and keep up with her! :) 
• I will completely overcome believing the lies that Satan has put in my mind and heart about me being ugly, fat, unworthy and just plain not enough.

Exciting thing about my body: I HAVE ARM MUSCLES!!!! Ok ok ok- so there is still tons of flab underneath...but up top.. LIKE A ROCK BABY!!! :) How cool! Funny story of today... so I was on my way home from the gym and I was noticing my muscles. So I'm in the car driving and flexing my muscles and smiling and a man is staring at me. :) Oh well. I'm proud. 

Weighed today and I am down 18 pounds. The official weigh in is thursday...so my body can do funky things and that was right after a workout. Hopefully it won't change...but exciting still! 132 Pounds left to go until I reach my goal! 

Thanks for reading!! :)
