Adventure- is that something that I need to get my heart pumping? Do I try to make the mundane seem more adventurous to trick myself into jumping in? I think maybe! The great "TO DO" list is long for the day, yet I am trying to make it some kind of adventure.
"As I leave the safety of my home and enter the untamed jungle, mowing a path to uncharted lands" seems so much funner than Mow the Lawn!
So in my head (as jumbled as it may seem) go to the gym turns into- "After fighting many foes she finally makes it into the land of sweat and strength. She proves to herself again that she can concur any oppressive power to get to her goal!"
I am very happy that I met up with my "new" workout buddy yesterday. I did the eliptical...I wanted to just do the easy workout. However, she did push me into the 30 weight loss program! I was feeling accomplished just getting to the gym. She was not satisfied with that! So my legs are SORE! But, the good kind the "I am making some progress" kind.
We are going to meet again at the gym today, in the afternoon, that is the time of day that the ice cream & couch are calling my name, begging me to entertain them! NO MORE!!
Getting 80 to 90 pounds off is not going to be done in the next 2 weeks, but, It WILL get done. On top of that it will NEVER (yes I used the "N" word) NEVER, NEVER come back.
I am totally worth the effort it is going to take to get this weight off and KEEP it off. Also worth the NEW CLOTHES I will have to buy!! Oh, cute clothes, come to Mama!!!
Part of me wants to "Sprint" to my goal, you know get there as fast as humanly possible... 8-10 months. Part of me wants to "Marathon" it, take it slow and steady. Maybe it needs to be a mixed race! Sprint when I can and slow and steady, kinda coast for a little bit. Now the "PLANNER" in me is wanting to grab my calendar and figure when to do each part. Man, that planner chick is annoying! Why can't she just chill??
Chubby Chick- off to find Adventure
