I skipped the gym all weekend. I didn't do a damn thing. It was awesome at the time, but then I weighed myself today after almost a week of no gym and 2 weeks of eating everything in sight. SIX freakin' pounds up. NOT the way I wanted to start off the year...but alot of things have happened that I didn't exactly want to deal with.
With all that in mind...and my STRONG desire to drink every ounce of vodka made available to me...I sent a good friend an email about how I am having a really hard time dealing with things. She said, and I quote: "You can do this. You DID the right thing." She'll never know the impact that had. Or maybe she will...
So keeping that in the front of my brain, I went to the gym with the intention of RUNNING (not walking) atleast half of a mile. Yes, I said half of ONE mile. If you know me you know that that's feasible...anything more would be setting my short term goal too high.
I ended up running .9 miles of the 2 miles that I did. I ran at 4.2 mph...for ALMOST ONE MILE. I didn't do it continuously, but the point is that I did it. I walked .5, ran .25, walked .35, ran .45, walked .15, ran .2 then walked the rest. The most awesome part is that in the middle I ran almost half a mile at once!!
I know some of you are reading this and laughing...and that's okay. I've never done this before. And I'm NOT quitting.

I started reading your blog at Day 3, not aware of what you are going through, seeking out or trying to accomplish and yet I know you are DETERMINED to succeed at whatever you are doing. It's ok to take a "break", Just Don't give up. I don't know you as well as most do, but I have always seen you as a go-getter, fun to be around and a very determined woman! Stay strong!
