I originally started this whole thing b/c I want to RUN! Losing weight, while important, was not my main motivation. I've since become addicted to the elliptical, and although I still want to run, I realized I need to get myself in better shape before just up and doing a 5k (all or nothing Jodi!)
So I had a rough (fat) day today. Then tonight, while I was exercising, I remembered why I originally started this. To run. To get in shape. To be HEALTHY!
And I did a routine tonight that just two weeks ago, was a hell of a lot harder for me than it was tonight. That was so rewarding --- and proved to myself that I AM getting in to shape, I AM getting healthy and I WILL run. And in the process, it's inevitable --- I WILL lose weight.
Re: Came to my senses while exercising...
That was so motivational, it made me put down my ice cream bowl.?
Ok, so the bowl was already empty... but I'm not going back for seconds! Hahaha....?
Thanks for the support girls!
And HTD -- HILARIOUS! Although now I really want ice cream...........(Thank goodness we have none in the house!)
I have some of my biggest "aha moments" on the treadmill.
I am so happy for you!

GOOD FOR YOU! Yes, I am yelling! I'm so proud of you. Don't be a slave to the scale. Keep it in perspective and remember what this is REALLY about.
You're awesome. Really. You're doing an amazing job. You're motivating me to get back on WW once we have the funds to do so.
