So I am just going to put it out there that everyone needs to stop making excuses! Today at the gym I was on the treadmill like usual cranking up the incline to get that beach butt that every girl dreams of. I turned the incline down and started running, at first I just had told myself that my goal was a half mile running straight. Well, I had got to the half mile and was no where near breathing as heavy as I thought. What do I do? I keep running until I can't breathe anymore.I ran 3/4 of a mile without stopping. I cooled down a little bit and then ran the rest of the mile. I have an amazing person that is my motivation to get through this with a whole new look. My secret when I am running is that when I am looking out the window towards the river.. I am not actually looking at the river. I am zoned out with a picture in my head that I am running along side him and his Platoon. I don't think there is anything more motivating. My ultimate goal is that when I see him in California in 12 more weeks, his jaw will drop & when he comes home on leave I will be able to keep up with him. He always was trying to get me to go running with him before but I refused. Even when he told me he would wear the weight vest to make it harder for himself. Then I could probably only run 10 minutes without choking on the negative degree temperatures that lovely Wisconsin brings us. I know he has always seen me as perfect and that I don't need to change, but I need this change for myself. It is going to make me so much more confident and proud of just wearing a t-shirt or tanktop in the summer instead of hiding under sweatshirts all the time.
I was so proud of myself today. I wish so bad that I could have picked up my phone and called him today and told him all about it. I must resist telling him all of this gym stuff. It MUST remain a surprise. So no one go off and tell him in any letters ;)
79 days until he gets to see my new rocking body!
