I woke up this morning feeling fresh and ready and was willing to give up sausage (I traded it in for soy chorizo--so worth it), but I wasn't quite ready to give up eggs (well, more accurately, I wanted soy chorizo, but not on its own, I had eggs in my fridge, I poached them...I didn't hurt anyone).
Anyway, I'm not quite meat-free yet, but I feel decent and I'm living reasonably healthy. Exercise, along with snacking, is still Public Enemy No. 1. A friend of mine recommended an app called C25K, Couch to 5k. She says it's helped her get motivated, and all the reviews in the app store give it 5 stars as the most helpful fitness tool. The app basically eases you into running workouts, increasing distance and time spent running each day. Plus, it includes walking, and doesn't discourage you to walk if you feel the need--something that almost always discourages me from running in the first place. The only progress I've really made towards running a 5k, however, is downloading this app. I have yet to put it into action yet, mostly because I'm still in that awkward funk I've been in for about 2 years now where I'm a lazy sack of terd. I want to so bad, I know once I force myself off my ass and into my shoes I will feel so much better...listen to me, I sound like an overweight 11 year-old. I must stop making excuses. My mom even bought me a new pair of New Balance running shoes to get my ass kickstarted--have I used them in any way besides walking around the NB store?
The journey begins now, or maybe it already began. Maybe it's always been a journey and this isn't a new journey but just a new path in an old journey. Maybe this is the first attempt of many. I'm starting to feel better, I think. Maybe it's just a placebo effect. Whatever it is, I hope it expands and lingers and spreads sunshine and lean muscles into the lumpiest parts of my cellulite.
Namaste.
