Sometimes you have to...

just DO IT! I've been making very poor eating choices overall (lacking portion control and eating too many sweets) and exercising inconsistently. Today even though I had a nonfat pumpkin spice latte and very fattening pumpkin scone from Starbucks at work, I did not let the day be a total loss. I forced myself to get out and do the Week 2 of C25K podcast which begins with a 5 minute warm up walk, then intervals of 90 seconds running and 2 minutes brisk walking for about 25 minutes. I didn't think I could do it since I have not been consistently running/walking three times a week as the program recommends to build up endurance and distance on running. However, I told myself to try it and I made it!!! When I wanted to give up, I told myself to go a bit farther and do it for my mom (who lost her right leg to the horrible disease of diabetes). I survived despite some huffing and puffing. And now I need to push myself to do it again on Saturday morning...
