Wii Fit Challenge

I have serious issues doing things. I'm great at planning, but the actual execution part I have issues.

I'm kind of a naysayer and I'm really hard on myself. Like I should get in trouble for bullying... myself.

I really do have goals and hopes and I try to do things...

Do or Do Not, There is No Try.

I need to really work on my discipline and I have serious issues with going to the gym. I work out when I get to the gym, I just can't seem to physically get myself to the gym.

So I set up the Wii today and issues myself a challenge. Every day just play the WiiFit. Even if it's only to weight myself and take a fitness test. I need to just take care of myself and be healthy. I got the WiiFit set up, did my fitness test, and my results were less than stellar. I already knew that I have to pour myself into my jeans and then make sure I don't sit down in them. Or breathe. I can't say I was surprised.

I'm planning on checking in periodically to see how close I am to my goals. I want to lose 10lbs in two months. I want to not be depressed anymore. It's really tiring being depressed, and I really feel like if I could just start exercising more I'd feel better. So here goes again. To working out... like I mean it.

Do or do not. There is no try.

The only person in my way is me.

I'm on a mission to be the healthiest me I can be. I want to feel great and look a little better. I want my clothes to fit properly again. I want to prepare my body to be a vessel of life.

So today I hit the gym. ALL. BY. MYSELF! 

I was completely able to drink my water. No struggles for me!

After reading my editor Cate's blog 'Simple Tips on How to Be Happy' it just clicked. Something I've always known but never truly accepted. The only person standing in the way of who I want to be is me. 

No one is going to hold my hand and drive me to the gym. So I held my own hand for once and drove myself to the gym. The only way to loose my pooch from the holidays and stop my arms from jiggling in strange places is to work out. 

So I worked it out. Just me and Lady Gaga. While listening to Bad Kids the line, "Don't be insecure if your heart is pure." Just kept resonating with me.

I SHOULDN'T BE INSECURE!!!!

I AM BEAUTIFUL, AND LOVELY, AND CLEVER, AND FUNNY, AND SMART! I AM TOO GOOD TO BEAT MYSELF UP IN MY HEAD ALL THE TIME!

So today I ran 3.78 miles in 50 minutes. The machine said I burned 482 calories. I doubt that's accurate, but the # makes me happy anyway.

I am now 3.78 miles closer to being the healthiest me I can be.
