Setting Goals. And. Sticking to Them.

Here we go. For the umpteenth time. Trying to lose weight. Feel great in my skin. Be happy with my appearance. Feel great about me.
I tend to actually live in the facade of my brain that I am not as overweight as I really am. I don't look at myself as fat. I look at myself as having some to lose but don't really see it...until a snapshot is taken that I didnt take. Then there it is. The truth. What I have to do.
I need to be real. I admit I have been feeling it in my feet and back.
How amazing will it to run 50 lbs lighter. How amazing will it be to put on a cute backless dress, and not have my back fat be a main attraction. How awesome to not have to stand at a certain angle for pictures and hold my chin out and up just to be sure my double chin isn't as profound.
My goal for 2015 is to run two 10k's and multiple 5ks. Which I do now. BUT I want to really race. I usually do to complete, and felt satisfied with that. TIME to get to it! Time to do this! I can do this. I am an athlete. ALways have been. I just let cake eating be my sport the past few years.

All things through God.

Those sound like good goals. I have been fast walking for about 6 months and watching the change. The first milestone was when I could get up the hill without stopping. Then it was being able to talk while walking up the hill. Now it's watching my pace and watching the time drop. Maybe I'll aim for some running too!

Hey Run! I see you've joined a couple of DB4's before. I think you will find this one is very different. I encourage you to take advantage of the support you can find here in the team. There are many of us that feel the same way - we are/were athletes and truly want to get back to feeling great I our own bodies. And, health is primary. So, keep your eyes peeled, ask lots of questions, ask for support on those tough days and friend lots of people. You will find loads of support. Good Luck! I'm rooting for you!
