When people laugh at you....you keep going!!!!

Still strong with my exercise routine. I have been listening to a podcast called "couch to 5K" from NHS and I guess it hasn't been that difficult because when I started to follow their routine I had been exercising for a couple of months already. It's awesome because it will take you from running 60 seconds at a time (something I very much struggled with 3 months ago) to 30 minutes of running straight! :) SO EXCITED. So far I'm on week 2. Running 90 seconds and resting 2 minutes. I feel energized and could almost feel the endorphins pumping in my veins when I am done.

Last week I wasn't able to make it to the WW meeting, so I have no idea how my weight is going. But today there's another weigh in. I am nervous. Easter has come and gone and we sure ate a ton of chocolate....less than I have eaten in the past, but still....lots of chocolate....and then there's guilt involved too :)  I just have to remember it's a process and I'm not always gonna be perfect. I strive for perfection but I'm not always there.

I will let you know how it was later on....

I just wanted to reinforce my commitment here to run the Sao Silvestre. Yesterday I mentioned to my family (grandma, great aunt and cousin) that I would run the SS and they LAUGUED AT ME! I was SO upset....at that moment I (re) made a commitment within myself that I would run this stupid race even if I still weigh as much as I do right now. I'm sure I won't be the same size by the last day of this year. I am hoping to be 30 kg lighter, but no matter what happens, if I have to crawl or walk I WILL RUN AND FINISH THE SAO SILVESTRE :) They have NO idea how their laughter made me upset, but it even gave me strength to keep going. I can do this!!!!!!
