A proud moment for myself today! I went to the gym here in SFO and I was on the treadmill. Now for the last couple days, I have been doing it but I have been doing the pace at 3.5 and if I try to up it at all its like 3.8 and feels like I am going to drag my feet!!! So today, I cranked the baby up for 4.5 and jogged, yes jogged for about 5 mins then I thought my heart could explode so I went back down to 3.5 but then it felt like I was walking too slow so I bumped it up to 3.8!!!! I did this. I jogged two times today. The first time it was for 5 mins and the second time, I could only last 3.5 mins but I made an accomplishment. I see how I am getting a little stronger with my body, now its time to focus on the willpower. :)

I am excited about my training, I have made my mind up that I need to do this. I can't be carrying around an extra 40 to 50lbs everyday. No wonder my feet hurt, my back hurts, my legs hurt. Think of it this way, if you were carrying around a child on your back that much everyday, sleeping on top of you, no matter where you go you have this extra 50lbs on you, makes it more difficult to turn around with having your butt in the way, or to sit comfortably on an airplane or anything. I have been thinking more and more about this. I don't want to destroy my body by not working out. There is no reason for it. So today, I make the commitment to CONSCIENCELLY watch my diet, watch everything that goes in my mouth, makes sure that its really worth the points. I did today, eat a piece of zucchini bread at Starbucks (Bad and my only excuse is that I didn't have dinner last night, I walked my husband down to his expo and I was starving and felt fainty.) I should have made a better decision on the bread but I didn't and its a lesson learned and will hopefully not be repeated!

I have some new goals in my life that I am excited to jump on when I get home. As I am walking around SFO, I think to myself what is it that I am trying to gain. The answer: a fuller life. You don't need your stomach to be fuller but life enjoying life at its fullest will be easier, more attainable as I become phit! :) I told my husband next time we are in SFO that I will be jogging around the city for my exercise, the gym will be my friend and I will hopefully have lost my weight and be able to run circles without being exhausted. Though, I have to admit, I may be overweight but I see myself in a better position than some, I see myself in better shape than some that are even smaller than me cause though the scales, sizes do mean something, the shape, the physical shape I am in is that meaning of life more to me. I would be happy in a size 10 if that meant that I could kick some serious booty! :)

Now that I have rambled on and on, Its time to shower, pack my bags (I'm ready to go, I stand outside the door ....) and get moving for the rest of the day in SFO before my flight leaves at 6pm :)
