Day 105

I did it! I went for my morning jog. I put my workout clothes on this morning and I was really tired but I told myself I would just go for a walk. Well, I got outside and did some stretches and then the motivation came. I started to jog at a pretty good pace. I jogged to my favorite park, which is a half-mile away, and then I jogged three laps around the track without stopping once. Then I walked around the track twice more. After I was done with the track I jogged to my favorite coffee shop. ☺ I treated myself to the most incredible coffee and a banana. When I was walking home from the coffee shop I felt incredible. I felt so happy and alive.

I had a revelation on my way home. It came to me that the true muscle I am building has nothing to do with my body but my mind and spirit. It’s the power to say to myself that I won’t give up. I am building my PERSISTANCE muscle. We sometimes give up too easily on ourselves or we label ourselves as something less than what we are. My persistence muscle is going to get stronger and stronger until it’s so strong that I act on everything I dream of doing. Watch out!

Tomorrow I will go to my Weight Watchers meeting and Zumba. I will track what I eat and I will not eat all my weekly points this weekend.
