I almost said "Screw it all" today, but instead...

I got on the treadmill and ran a mile in 13:20.   I started this lifestyle change on January 6, 2009 and I could barely walk a mile in 30 minutes.  Now, I just ran the fastest mile of my entire life.  And, on top of that, one of my laps that I ran (.25 of the mile) I ran at a speed of 5.5mph. I have never been a runner, but today I feel like one.

Just remember: When you are ready to give it all up, give one last push; you might just surprise yourself.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! That is so awesome!!!!

I know just how you feel. After about a month and a half of eating healthier, I decided to start the C25K program. About 2 weeks ago, it was the day to run but I was so tired that morning (midterms....). Also, it was the start of a new week so it was going to be harder as well. I decided to go for it...at least half way is better than none. Well, I finished the whole segment and felt great! I realized just like you did that you may just surprise yourself

i know you posted this a while ago, but WOMAN! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME. i was so close to just giving in today and being like you know what, i want that ice cream and i'm going to freakin eat it, BUT I DIDNT. and now i feel great, its so true that one last push can truly get you through, you may be at the bottom of everything, but its worth it! woohoo for us!

Well done!  A little push in the right direction is always a good thing.  And big congrats for paying attention to something besides the scale to measure your progress.  You've come a long way!

It was so encouraging to read your post! I am definitely having one of those "Screw it all" days today. Thanks for the motivation!
