Woke up and weighed myself - 206.  I expressed irritation and dissapointment to my hubby, cuz just last Friday I was at 205.4, then had a tuff weekend, and now I'm grinding away back down to that.  Then, we go out walking, and tried some interval jogging.  Got back, weighed myself again - 204.8.  Woo!  Ok, some of that I realize is just regular scale deviation, but it's a new low again, and my trend is quite steadily downwards, so I'm happy again.

On jogging - it's crazy.  I liked it.  It was fun.  I always thought I hated running, that nothing could get me to run like a fool.  And today, we kept picking landmarks, and saying "Ok, we're going to jog that far, and then walk a bit," and I found I had tons more enthusiasm for it than I would have ever guessed.  So here's today's motivation:

Childlike glee at the wonder of my body.  Suddenly I was remembering when I was a kid, and I would run EVERYWHERE.  I had 2 modes - running, or passed out.  No in between.  It's fun to feel like I could be like that again :)

I've been walking and I aspire to run.  I want to find pleasure in working out and not have it be a chore.  Your story inspires... even though this was written months ago.  Wink
