I avoided it all. day. It’s been two weeks since I worked out, and I was actually afraid (?) to go to the Y to work out. My whole biking with my friends idea failed miserably. Why I thought I could just march into a bike shop with my box o’bike and get it put together is beyond me. The earliest anyone can get it together is Thursday. I’m a very handy girl, but this is a pricey bike, and it has disc breaks, and I don’t want to mess it up. So, Thursday it is.
So that was a bummer. And I found all sorts of reasons to not make it to the Y. And so, there it was. 9:00 pm. Almost dark. We have this page for all of the Rob’s Big Losers where we try to stay in touch and keep each other motivated. Every Sunday evening I write a little blog– mostly to motivate myself, but hopefully to also motivate the other Losers. Our grand champion, Jamie, this morning commented that I inspired her with last night’s blog. And here I was, avoiding working out. How could I inspire others when I wasn’t pushing myself to just get my shoes on and go? No more excuses! I put on my shoes and my reflective belt, and I jogged about 1.35 miles. I was a little slower than I had been two weeks ago, but not by much!
So now I’m over that hurdle. I got back on the horse. While I was running I thought about that inspirational quote, “If you’re tired of starting over, stop quitting.” I don’t really view this is starting over. I view it as not quitting. And tomorrow, I’m gonna not quit some more.
