Whenever I need inspiration I like to watch a little show called the Biggest Loser (you may have heard of it). I had downloaded about 3 seasons ages ago then deleted two and am now left with season 11. SA had only ONE season. That's it. Just one and yet we are the second (apparently on the fast track to taking over the first spot) fattest nation and yet programs such as BL are not well supported. There is a disconnect.
Anyways, I digress.
I watched BL with these contestants who lost ridiculous amounts of weight and, naturally being the voyeur that I am, I googled some of these contestants and found some on twitter. I thoroughly enjoyed Hannah Curlee because not only is just so darned pretty but her sense of humour killed me! Then, my stalker tendencies kicked in and I started following her on twitter. Three years later and she has still maintained her 120 pounds-lost-loss(hurmph). How cool is that?
So today I woke up and went for a run (it's actually 2,5 kms that I run not 3 kms. Was waaaay too ambitious there). I ran 50% percent of the way. Today the run wasn't as easy physically as it was on Wednesday (adrenalin - yeah!) but it was easier mentally and that was a nice feeling. I know now what it means to say mind over matter. My chest did not feel like I dropped a bomb and crashed a plane on it. AND I improved my time by 2 minutes.
I've been reading up on habits of successful people. One habit that stuck in my mind was successful people wake up earlier than they want to. Exercising in the morning is so much easier for me. The habit of waking up early is one I am adopting.
Happy Friday!
