I think I can! I think I can!
I'm having to push myself these days; it's not coming to me so easily as it did before my injury. It's so much easier to sit on the couch and be fat, but that sucks and it feels so much better to exercise and eat right. (What a concept!) So I'm trying hard to get back into the routine full force. I'm not quite there yet but I want to be so that's good. Saturday I didn't walk the levee but instead I walked the track at the Healthplex. I did about 2 miles at a pretty good pace before my knee started hurting. I didn't want to overdo it. I didn't exercise Sun or today, but tomorrow I look forward to walking. I'm totally over feeling guilty about not eating right or missing my walking. I guess that means that I'm thinking in the grey area that I used to so desperately avoid. It's weird, but good, I guess. I have fridge FULL of superfoods. Funny how the store was completely out Kashi Go Lean Crunch and frozen blueberries! Thanks for the cool bag and goodies Mark and Robin. And thanks so much Lisa and Christy for making me keep it real and keep it in perspective. I don't have kids or even a significant other to hold me back. I have NO EXCUSES!!!!

Christa,
Even when you can't see results ....results are in the making everytime you take a step forward!...just keep on keeping on one day at a time!....I have done this twice and I never ever thought I could run a mile much less a marathon...YOU are A MARATHONER!

That is awesome that you are looking forward to your walk today! You are halfway there, girlfriend. Just tell yourself you can do anything for 12 weeks. It really takes that long to get used to the idea....You just have to stick with it--know that this is by far the hardest part. Once you've been doing this for a few months, it becomes part of your regular routine and it will be SOOOOO MUCH EASIER! This part right now is the worst...You're about halfway there already!! Another 6 weeks and you'll be loving everything about it!
Remember. We are all in this together. We are marathoners! We all have days suffering. But, we are a long way from the couch potatoes we were once.
