I walked into Stacy's apartment tonight (after reluctantly going out in this frigidness) and she said "So, I've been thinking ..." to which I almost ran out, because it's NEVER good when she says things like that!!!! That's when she told me about doing this challenge again, since I did so well the first time. As scary as it is (I admit that I am scared); I NEED to do this. I need to get my ass in gear. I have already signed up for three half marathons this year; two of which are coming up, and are only two weeks apart. The first is on February 28th and the second is on March 13th. The third is in September. I would like my times to be better than previous races, but I am not focusing on that; just finishing is the accomplishment. Getting back into shape now will help for sure, so that's my goal right now.
Ironically, the timing couldn't be better - the new season of The Biggest Loser started tonight ...
I know what these contestants are going through; when they feel like they're dying on the treadmill or bike; or they can't do one more burpee; or their legs are shaking so bad from the insane amount of squats or jumping jacks and the trainer is screaming in their face to "PUSH IT!!!" or "KEEP GOING!!!!" or "DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!" and you want to slap them because you are literally at your breaking point, fighting back the tears and vomit ... yeah, I've been there and I know I'll be there again (I am NOT looking forward to that part), but I did it once, and I WILL DO IT AGAIN!!!
One day at a time, one meal at a time, one workout at a time.
Here's to another 90 days on this winding road ...
