This morning was session 1 with my new trainer, Regan. She's a volleyball coach, too. And she challenged me. And she reads this blog. (Hello, Regan!) I don't mind waking up and going to the gym before work if I have a purpose. And by purspose, I mean that I'm paying someone to meet me there. But also, I realized yesterday that I really want this. That is the primary reason. Secondary for the first time ever are the reasons of looking good and being healthy. I really just want it. There is no other reason that I really need.
I've read "The Secret." I've also watched the DVD multiple times. Yes, I'm one of those people. In January, I wrote down (to the Universe, as The Secret dictates) that I want to want to lose weight. You can say you want anything, but you have to actually WANT it. There's a difference. Once you put it out to the Universe, then you just have to have faith that it will happen and not think about the how. Just know it will manifest. Well, a couple of months later, I started this experiment in March. As time went by, I realized that working out each day was something I looked forward to. Something I got excited about. Something I couldn't imagine going a day without. It lifts my spirits. Clears my mind. Helps me focus. Increases my endorphines. And now, my desire has manifested. It just takes patience and faith.
This morning, I received a touching message from a former high school classmate. Robert wrote that he was so inspired by my blog that it motivated him to start his own 90-day plan, including a blog. I was honored that I had inspired someone! I felt like Oprah. I felt cool. Not just cool. I felt four popped-collars cool!
Tonight, even though I'd completed my workout this morning, I couldn't wait to get out and take a jog around the neighborhood. (Yes, a two-a-day!) It helps that I gave up cable and shows are in summer re-run phase. I don't miss cable at all.
Hi! Amy suggested I check your blog out, I've recently started my own healthier life journey (loseweightwithdeanna.blogspot.com). I love what you're doing and look forward to seeing what you do next. Is there a plan after 90 days?
ReplyDeleteHey Heather! Congrats and you should feel cool!! While I have not shared my new interest in running with many, your comments and attitude have been a reaffirming boost for me! You look great! While I am not up to any marathons by any means...I do understand that your body speaks to you while you run. Mine tells me that I wish I was not quite so..."well endowed" sometimes! HA! Nothing a little duct tape won't fix! But cheers to you, my friend!! Keep it up and keep us posted!!!
