Well Now What??

It was a huge change for me to start tracking my eating and making conscious eating/moving decisions but I did it. It took a few weeks but soon things started to become habit and now the principles I have learned through Weight Watchers are ingrained inside me. Then I hit this huge milestone. Now what? I'm still losing weight. I'm up to 33 pounds. But it's different now. It's a very strange feeling. It's a good feeling. But it's strange nonetheless. Check out that use of "nonetheless". Yeah? Awesome.
I think I still view my journey as not over. And part of that is I never wanted to call it a journey because they eventually end and you go back. It's just that maybe the turbulence is over and I have a smoother flight ahead. But I don't want to just sit here. So I became part of the flight crew. I have been working once a week for about 3 weeks now. As I train and watch videos about the program I have come to love I am even more fired up to continue progressing and help others as well. Being on the other side of the desk is very different and I respect those who helped me along the way so much more now. It is taking me some time to learn everything, but I look forward to giving back. While my body is still finding it's happy place, I feel like I am finding my own emotional happy place as well. I think I may have found my niche. We'll see once training is done and I'm on my own!!!
3 Weeks until the Color Run!!!

I think I just ran 2 miles

I switched my routine today. Corey was home (a first) so I went running without the kids. I love the park and I feel like I've been  getting a good run when I go there. It's perfect because the kids play, I run, we all see each other. The only thing is that I run in a circle on a track. My mind takes over and is always counting and telling me how much further I can or can't run. So today I went by music. My plan was just to start running and run for a song, walk for a song. Love is a Battlefield is over 5 minutes long. I'll admit I took a 30 second break, but once that song was done, I felt like I could keep going. When that song ended, I kept going. In all, I ran about 1.75 miles with 3 walking breaks. All were less than a minute. This was the best run of my life. Thank you Pat Benatar. I am so excited for the Color Run!!!
