The hardest part of this journey is maintaining the pace and building the momentum needed to succeed. I was talking to someone the other day about one of my own personal greatest physical accomplishments. I ran/walked a half marathon which for me was AMAZING. I had never in my life thought I would be capable of such a feat. I think back to that moment. I wasn't in the "best shape" but I was far healthier and more fit than my current physical condition.
Reminiscing on that made me realize I do not want it to just be a thing of the past. Something I did once, but something I can regularly accomplish. Perhaps one day something I can do with my children. This is the mindset I need to keep to stay motivated. Now to just get moving again. I have been procrastinating the exercise portion of my program. I just need to build my confidence in the food control then I can focus more on the burning calories.
This has me thinking of ways to motivate myself though....

Today God answered that by sending my child. Brenya convinced me to go for a walk. The girls and i even jogged with the dogs a bit. It felt good. I didnt time myself and I just enjoyed myself.
We enjoyed ourselves and i have returned to the process of watching my calories again. This has overall been the most effective form of weightloss and lifestyle for me. I need that control to truly regain myself. This week it finally clicked...it truly clicked. My truest motivation my girls!
Weighed in today at 180 lbs. Its a start!
