Getting motivated today was a little more difficult than yesterday. Isn't that always the way? I am so gung-ho the first few days and then life happens, laziness sets in, and the goal is rationalized away. I have decided that this time has to be different. Instead of just posting a list on the mirror or doing that whole "self talk" stuff, I have gone public. Part of why Weight Watchers worked for me is because I had to weigh in once a week in front of someone to whom I was accountable to. Plus, the longer it took to get to my goal weight the more it cost me. Money is not a part of the equation this time, but things more important are: my health, self esteem, and ability to go shopping for clothes without getting depressed. So - I beat the battle with the couch and conquered Day 2!
I jogged ALL 2 miles! It took me 25 minutes and 4 seconds. Then the over-achiever in me lead me to walk another .5 mile for cool down. That lap took me 7 minutes and 14 seconds. I am SUPER proud of myself for completing my task for the day. Something tells me though, that eventually I will need to work on speed since my walking time is only a little over a minute longer than my jogging.

In May, 2010 I decided to become a Jogger. I was doing it to lose the 8% of body fat that I need to in order to be considered "lean" and to jog my first 5k. In October, 2010 I met one of my goals and jogged my first 5k! In 2011, I jogged my 2nd 5k and my first ever 10k!! My goal for 2012 has switched from a focus on jogging to a focus on muscle building so that I can get closer to my 8% goal!
