better me update

---

Remember this past October, when I publicly committed to working out?  I made it blog knowledge and signed up for a 5k just to keep myself from not backing down.  Guess what???  I didn't back down, I've stuck with it!!

You know how it goes, you think, man I'm not liking the image in the mirror I've got to change that.  Next day you're working out like no tomorrow, a few weeks later you forget the whole working out thing even happened.  I've been there many times before, but not this time I've actually stuck with it, 471 miles to be exact!  Yeah it feels good.  

There hasn't been a major scale change, but there have been other changes.  My jeans fit better, a few weeks ago I slipped into some older pants and they fit, they were short, that's how long I haven't been able to wear them!  AND my belt has gone in two notches, not gonna lie I was happy dancing.

Even if I wasn't seeing the little changes, I would still keep working out.  There is just something about sweating and working hard that makes the day better.  I've noticed if I don't bike in the morning the rest of the day I'm in a fog.  But when I do bike I've got an extra spring in my step the whole day.

better me




Today I rode 7.5 miles on our bike, and man did if feel good.  There is just something about exercising that makes you feel alive and full of energy.

I haven't really been feeling all that great about my self recently, I'm not happy with how I am looking.  I've been struggling with these feelings for awhile, I kept turning to God to replace these thoughts of insecurity. But I realized something, working out couldn't hurt!  

I'm not going into this thing with just carrots and celery for my diet, I'm still going to eat what I do.  Just in smaller quantities.  I'm not going to devote hours upon hours of working out.  Just 45 minutes.  I'm not going to be constantly weighing myself.  Just once a week.  

I am not going to be backing out of it either: a) it is now public knowledge b) I'm signing up for a 5k in early November.  I'm now accountable for my actions.

I'm excited to see where this will take me, but I'm also wondering what have I done??!



There goes unneeded snacking




I'm taping this onto my mirror so it will be the first thing I see when I wake up.






I won't be able to see an physical results for a while, but I will be able to feel the energy difference
