Breaking Goals and making new ones...
I can not believe how much I've changed and grown since I first started going to the gym in January. I remember when I first started, I was absolutely terrified! I was embarrassed about my size and sweating and looking like an idiot on the treadmill cause I was walking so slow. I was also afraid of trying new work outs and I would only do the treadmill for a good 3 months before I even looked at anything else. As I got stronger, I got braver. I started setting goals for myself. My initial goal when I first got on that treadmill was to just get to a mile on a steady basis. I could barely do .8 miles in 45 minutes. So as my strength increased my new goal became 30 min miles, then 20, then 15. I finally got to 15 yesterday!!!! But tonight was more than I ever dreamed...I did 2 miles in less than 30 minutes!!!!! I was also at a pretty steep incline the entire time. I'm so proud of myself! I never stopped once. I didn't even want to. Each step made me feel so empowered! I actually enjoy the sweat now because I know it's working and I am certainly not embarrassed anymore at all!! I walk in that gym like I'm meant to be there and I absolutely love this new me!! My new goal is set to jog/run for half a mile without walking. This is going to be tough but I know I can do anything I set out to do...I will not let myself down!
