Today was a pretty great day. Woke up (when I wanted, just like I said!) and then finished my second week of C25K. I should have never looked at the task for next week. Jogging for 3 minutes! I have no idea how I'm going to pull that off, but I keep telling myself that I felt the same way about the 90 seconds and I got through that just fine.
Today it occurred to me that I don't think I just want to lose 100 pounds anymore. I want to keep going until I'm at a healthy weight. While 211 lbs sounds like an amazing weight to me right now, I know that it still isn't a good weight to be for my height. While I was working out today I thought about what it would be like to be person that runs 4 miles a day just to maintain. What it would be like to sit down and still have a stomach. To be able to do a pull-up. All of these thoughts came rushing at me at once when I realized that I hadn't looked at the timer on my phone when the voice told me that my 90 seconds were up. At that moment I realized that I was getting better. I'm really doing this. And not only that, but I was enjoying exercise!
So for now I am sticking to the initial goal of losing 100 pounds in one year. However, I no longer think I'm going to stop there. I want to continue to push myself to be the best possible me that I can be.
Now it's off to bed for some much needed sleepy-time.
