Decision Making...

Sometimes in life things don't go exactly the way you planned. That's just life right? I have come to one of those junctures and realized that I needed to make a change.

I'm currently on day 2 of severe muscle pain. ...I know that this is good....and bad. lol Good because I pushed myself and had 2 great workouts in a row. Bad because I pushed myself maybe a bit to hard. Whoops. I feel like this is a lesson for me. A lesson on learning how far is too far and where my limits are.

I have come a long way in this journey. I am currently at 70 lbs lost since starting and I've lost 4 dress sizes. That is A LOT, but sometimes I forget that while I've achieved a lot I also have a long way to go. I recently began the c25k app to learn how to run. At this time, because of my recent painful set back, I feel like I took on to much to soon.

I am going to be stopping my c25k training starting now. I think that I am still to heavy for my legs to handle the impact of running. I want to focus on strengthening my legs, having better endurance and losing more weight before trying again. Looking at this as a goal to work towards instead of a set back is what will keep me going.

Trying to stay optimistic when things like this happen is key, and I'm trying very hard. In just the last 2 days I've felt like giving up, giving in and not caring. But I can't let those feelings win because I have way to much more that I want to do....
