Where do I start? Lots of things have happened to me this last week. I jogged my first mile... I JOGGED MY FIRST MILE EVER!!! That is a huge accomplishment for me. Okay I didn't jog it straight through, but I did it none the less. Now that I know that I can do I now hold myself to a higher standard. That is my minimum now.
I learned I could do that because of an AMAZING guy named Larry. As I said previously, I am working at a gym. Well, there is a guy that comes in twice a day to work out. He is just dedicated. He was diagnosed with diabetes just a little while ago and he is exercising to get it under control. Well, after jogging my half mile the other day I hopped on the treadmill next to him so that I could chat with him and I jogged another quarter mile. "Wow," I thought to myself, "I just jogged 3/4 of a mile. I think I am going to die." Haha. I got off and walked away, turned around and stood there for a minute watching Larry and I thought if he can do this I can surely jog another quarter mile and make make it an even mile. I did. I felt great. I had done something I had never been able to do before. So even though you will never read this, Thanks Larry for being such an example to me.
My a-ha moment came today... I realized that I am an emotional eater. Not so much when I am happy, but when I am sad or depressed my first refuge is a candy bar so that I can drown my sorrows in chocolate. Now that I am aware of this fact I can work to change it. A-ha... Life keeps moving on. :)
