Thursday Thought

This is where it gets difficult.  Everyone can find one or two things that they like about themselves.  But three????  Thursday thought is a nice or neutral thought about my body.
I need to pause here and really take a look.....

I'm back.
I needed to go and look in the mirror.
I genuinely like my upper chest/clavicle area.  (Does it have a name?)

 - I can actually feel my clavicle bone.
 - It doesn't seem like a fatty area - it just looks normal to me.
 - Maybe that is - it is just a very normal looking area.  I have no problem wearing my necklace and highlighting this area.
Of course, I am so self conscious I had to make the picture black and white because I kept poking it and it became blotchy.  I had to hide the blotches!

But it feels normal so I like it.

1km at a time! ;)

FINALLY started running again.
Just starting is so hard so I told myself - just get up and you only have to do 1km.  Thats it.

So, that is what I did.
1km took me 14.3 minutes and four songs!  (I have read that an elliptical km takes longer than a treadmill or running km and I really hope so otherwise my half marathon will take 5 hours!!!!)

I really did work up a sweat and gave it a go!

Only 20km to go!!! :)

Monday Motivation

I mentioned at my company meeting that I was going to run the half marathon next year and many people put up their hands to join in.  Group motivation is a good thing.

Sunday Weigh In

How can I explain what is happening?  It is really weird.  I am eating like crazy.  Not paying attenting to anything and due to my knee, I've stopped my running.  Up abit this week but I'll take it.

I need to stop this nonsense, though.  I know these habits will catch up with me shortly.
This week:
 - Track every day.  (I have tracked 2 days in a row now.)  Is anyone else using LoseIt! ?
 - I have a mtg with the Half Size Me lady.  Maybe I can get some coaching?  That is on Thursday.
 - I am back on my running program - 2 times this week.

Funny Friday

How I feel every day!!!! ;)

Thursday Thought

I just re-read my post for last Thursday and I laughed out loud.  My positive Thursday thought was:

Thursday Thought - My nails are all proportional to my hands and feet. They look good with polish.

I mean...its true.  I don't know why I think this is funny.
But I truly do like my nails.

So the positive Thursday Thought this week is that I also love my calves because they are well proportioned.  Even now, I only get cankles when I am retaining weird water.  And, I am so #grateful that my calves have always been strong and helping me with my knee rehabilitation AND helping me with my running.

The Thursday positive thought is going to get tough after a few weeks.
Could you think of something different and positive about your BODY every week?  
Lets see how long this can go.
I'll really try.

Monday Motivation

Today is variations on a theme.  I saw a new version of my favorite "today is not that day" slogan.  And then I found a few others that were closely aligned to this thought.  Running is a privilege and a gift.  My knees are not healthy but the rest of me is and I take my healthy body for granted.  Just a reminder.
