Today I weighed myself and I'm pretty embarrassed to admit it but I now weigh in at 190 lbs!! That's the most I've EVER weighed my entire life! All through high school and up to about a couple of years ago I was never able to break 140-145. And now I have 190 glaring at me. I'm not saying I'm that overweight by any means. But I do know that I am extremely out of shape. I know this because I had a long chat with the treadmill today.
I jumped on the treadmill since it's been raining outside (I wasn't going to let that be an excuse for me not to start) and I found out real quick where I stand at the beginning of this journey.
I started out with a brisk walk to get myself warmed up and ready and then I would occasionally run for 2-3 minutes at a time and then go back to walking. I repeated this cycle for well over an hour. My final outcome was as follows...
(3.58 mi, 01:05 - 18:09 pace)
That looks pitiful doesn't it??
In my younger days I would have laughed at those results but now that it is where I find myself now it motivates me to try harder. I was so tired when I finished this workout. Not only that but (pardon the total honesty) I almost threw up with about 6 minutes to go! How I made it without actually doing the deed is beyond me! I'm just glad I did!
I guess I could sulk and be disappointed with my results but the main thing is that I'm actually doing something about it now right? I'm actually determined to get better results and get myself in much better shape. One day I will look back on this post and see a time in my life where I was totally out of control. And yet, at the same time, I will look at this post and see where the beginning of something great finally started.
Day one is in the history books and the future is waiting!
Proud of you, honey!
