Daily Accountability: Although I didn't post yesterday, I'll have you know that I did in fact run my run over the weekend...3 miles to be exact. And I did hit my 10k steps yesterday (Monday). (Sunday's I've decided to not focus on the NEED to hit 10k. If I hit it, great. If I don't, no biggie.)
Today is all about transformation. Today, I promised I would be accountable...even if that meant I had to swallow some pride in the process.
Before I wrote this post, I knew I needed to get my work out in. I knew I needed to have a positive to build myself up with. So I did. I did my 30 minutes of walk/run intervals (what I've found to be the BEST tool at losing weight...to trick your body with a fluctuating heart rate).
As I finished my workout, I logged on to Instagram (do you follow me? If not, check the side bar so you can!) As I was scrolling through the pictures, I came across one my sweet Aunt Tonya posted. It was a picture she took of a snail. I borrowed that picture and added the words she used on the picture because I think it is so relevant!
Somedays all I can think about is how fast can I lose all this weight? How fast, how fast, how fast?
But somedays, we have set backs. Somedays, we step on the scale and are frustrated with what we see. Somedays, it takes all we have just to keep inching forward across the road...dodging the traffic coming in our direction. Somedays it takes every ounce of determination to stay focused and not give up.
Just as this snail made it across the road in one piece, we too can make it. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow. But we will make it, and the most important thing is we will be in one piece! We will be stronger because of the work we had to put in.
While the road ahead seems pretty long for my goals, inching forward is the only way I can get there in one piece...
Today's starting weight: 187.4
