Today is the official start day of my journey to get well, to rejuvenate.
It started with an alarm clock. I know, sounds silly, right? I work until 1130 PM several days a week but never seem to be able to fall asleep until much later, usually 2 or 3 AM. I HATE MORNINGS! Today was different though. Today my baby girl started her first day of high school and my son 5th grade. I need to make changes in my life, I want them to make changes, as well, to be healhtier. I cant expect that of them if I cant do it myself.
I for now have chosen C25K as my work out. This morning, I decided I would visit a local park, I had never been there but had been told how nice it was and how great of a walk it had. MY ASS!! Nice, absolutely, quiet, yup but holy HILLS! I got through the 30 minute, very simple walk/jog workout although you’d think I just ran a bloody marathon with the way my body feels. My knees hurt like a mother and my shins feel like someone took a ice pick to them…AWESOME.
I am disappointed in my self. The first thing that pops into my head is the scene from Liar Liar where Jim Carey beats the shit out of himself. Yup, I am there. How did I let this so unbelievably out of control?? I like to think the fact that I am moving my butt and doing something about it makes up for it but its just plain stupid.
Absolutely not an excuse, but when I moved away from my hometown a little over a year ago I also moved away from the most incredible fitness center, TAZ fitness. I miss that place. Those girls could motivate a stone to get fit if need be and they did it (and continue to do it) with a fierce passion for what they do. I will continue to annoy the owner to open a brach in this area, its a college town, COME ON!! (I will lower myself to begging to get out of having to run as a work out)
I am hoping this evening we will be able to take the kids to play soccer at what I will now consider the hills of hell. Gently and passively introduce them to my plan. This ought to go over well..mwuahahhahah!!!
I may need a nap.
Peace,
