6.15.10

I got up at 5:15 this morning to meet Tonya at 6am to go running. I was a little nervous, since we were going to run 3 miles. I have not ran since last summer. I was up to 7 miles in August 09, and haven't worked out or ran since then (except for two weeks in April when once again I didn't stick to it.) After stretching and our warm-up walk we were off. I couldn't believe that I never stopped once. It felt great to be running again - and I forgot how much I love running outside. On the way home I had my windows down and I was singing loud to music - I just felt soooo good! When the workouts get tough I just have to remind myself that in time there will be great rewards. Right now I'm feeling great and soon will be looking great - I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I was very nervous for this day to arrive - AND I should've been. Tonya was so right when she said, "You've entered Hell." The first thing she told me do was 500 jumping jacks while pushing a body bar over my head. Of course, I didn't get to 500 (but it was in the hundreds) when she made me run up a hill. All the way down the hill I felt my wobbly legs and thought for sure I was going to fall down (at that point I wanted to fall and end this whole thing). I almost called it quits and then I looked at pictures of my two children, Rylee and Reece. Not only am I doing this for myself, but my husband and children deserve all of me in the most healthiest state. They are my inspiration and when I think I can't make it any longer I know they will push me to the end! While the physical part was painful, the emotional part was unbearable. Emotional Eating - I've never really thought about it, and Tonya drug it out of me. After a lot of crying, yelling, puking (only water because I had nothing in my stomach at the time) and running a mile (4 different times) up a hill I felt INCREDIBLE! As Tonya and I were standing at the top of the hill she told me look down and know that I deserve to be on top of the world. I need to have control over my weight, my food and any negative people holding me back. As tears were running down my face I knew this journey was going to be long and tough, but it was definitely MY TIME to be on top of the world!
