Starting Over

Last Friday I was in SUCH a negative space after trying to run at the gym, that I nearly quit. After all I've been through, after all the struggles, sacrifices, accomplishments, I just wanted to quit. It was just frustration, pure and simple, but this time it dragged me way down.

I've always told myself, though, (and everyone else) that I was afraid that if I did quit, that I would get back to Fat Connie status, and I would never let that happen.

That's why today was a starting over attitude adjustment day for me. Maybe it was because I got 7 hours of sleep, or maybe it's just because I REFUSE to revert to Fat Connie status...but whatever reason, this journey is here to stay.

This morning, I woke up, threw my workout gear on, went straight to my street run without even flinching. The run wasn't stellar by any means, but it was a nice day, and I felt good when I got done. I didn't even want to nap afterwards.

To all of y'all who have supported me (and still are), please continue to do so, because I can't continue my journey without you. I won't let you down, and I won't let myself down, either!

Today's workout: Oct. 24, 2011...1.11 mile street run.

Zumbarunner...Whether shaking it or running it, I'll cross the finish line!
