All in all, I can say that this has been a pretty good week. After my epiphany from last week, I decided to get my head back in the game. Im still struggling with the routine of the food diary (now its become a standoff between us), but my exercise game is back on. Nichole commented on the difference in my attitude when it comes to the working out.<\/p>\n
I used to psych myself out while doing exercises that I didnt enjoy. I would concentrate on my feelings of dislike rather than getting the exercise done. Not only did this make it infinitely more painful (mentally) to get things done, I was depriving myself of the rush of joy that comes with having successfully complete three reps of something difficult!<\/p>\n
Ive since learned to stop focusing on my displeasure and to concentrate on completing the task at hand. I dont use the word “completion” lightly at all. I was always so focused on the details that I thought it was okay to quit something halfway through because I had expended so much energy along the way. Now I can step back, see the big picture, embrace the challenge and conquer it. Nichole noticing this change was a major boost and just what I needed to remind me of how far Ive come.<\/p>\n
If I wasnt sure then, it became really clear when I ran a 10K race on Saturday. I stayed focused and loose, hoping to break my 10K record. Guess what? I shattered it! I ran this race 17 minutes faster than the two 10Ks I ran the month before I started this adventure. Thats more than 2.5 minutes faster per mile. I am so proud and thankful but a little ashamed that Ive started to take my progress for granted.<\/p>\n
Part of the reason I am so humble now is probably due to the fact that Ive hit a major plateau and Im not losing weight in the same way that I was in the beginning. Disappointing, but Im back and ready to focus and see this thing through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
