Marathon Melissa

I’ve been steadily dealing with family ’stuff’, schoolwork, and work work for the past who knows how long… I’ve neglected my running - and its seriously time to put a mox nix on this behavior. I’m hoping to go for a run tonight and then one tomorrow morning, and the next and the next - and so on. I’m not going to post my mileage now because I want to feel rewarded when I post it and know that I’ve aleady done it!

Eating wise I’ve been pretty lax lately. Not good for a recovering heavyweight. Okay, I wasn’t huge or anything but I definitely let myself get out of control for a while. Luckily, I haven’t gained any weight in the past 2 months or so - but I haven’t lost either. I was losing pretty steadily too.

So, today is a new day - this hour is a new hour. Here I go, I’m more determined and not allowing the excuses to build anymore. Everyone has their ’stuff’ and why do I time after time, punish myself by revoking my running privileges? I do it every time I get down! Geez Louise!

Well, be back later.

Be happy – It’s easier to walk around with a smile

Feel healthy – I know my heart’s getting into good shape and I’m losing weight.

Deal with different people – Especially at work, some of these people are really “odd”

Feel smarter and more capable – Just pass me that crossword and watch magic happen

Not worry quite so much – I stomp it out on the treadmill.

Feel like I’ve accomplished something at night – Lights out, so is Melissa – off an dreaming and getting geared up for the next morning’s run.

I don’t know why I ever stopped. Funny how getting down on yourself with family issues and such can make you discipline yourself by taking away things that you actually enjoy!
