i have a subscription Runner's World magazine plus i created an account at their website and get all kinds of cool email from them. In this morning's email there was a link to an article on their website called,
"10 Rules of Weight Loss" . Check it out if you get the chance. It's quite interesting.
Now, there's not really any new information in that you probably haven't already heard but i like the way they laid it out. Here's the trick though, at least for me. FOLLOWING IT!!!!
i read all these articles and see all the great advice from the hosts on The Biggest Loser and i KNOW they are right. But here's where i get into my whiny side, so you may want to turn away if you can't stomach that....lol.
IT'S HARD!!! (*pouty lips*) YOU'RE SKINNY AND ALREADY DO ALL THAT!!!! I'M NOT!!!!(*sniffle*) IT'S SO EASY FOR YOU TO SIT BACK AND SAY HOW EASY IT IS!!!! (*sad eyes*) TRY WALKING AROUND IN MY LIFE FOR A FEW YEARS!!! (*here we just trail off into a blubbering-mumble*)
i am having trouble getting my running plan kick-started. The motivation is there. i know it is. It's just buried under all the emotions, the stress, the frustrations and yes, fat.
i look back (fondly) on all the marathons, and other long-distance, runs i've participated in and KNOW i can do. i have. MANY times.
i'm just struggling a bit right now but i'll get there.
laters.

Thanks for the comment on my Too Cold to Hold post. Sorry you didn't perhaps reach your time goal but think positive, you finished. Rhonda and I both were saying that to ourselves as we felt weak and pathetic....that we were going to finish and that was a lot more than other people who were sitting at home on the couch or worse, still asleep.
ReplyDeleteSo be proud you got out in the cold, ran 15K and crossed the finish line. Never feel failure in that.
I have a challenge going on for anyone that wants to participate, you might be interested, it perhaps is the motivation you need to reach your goals. At the very least, I am running in lots of events this year, feel free to ping me and we can run together.
