Running/Exercise

I am not running the way I used to run a few weeks ago. I know its the 30 Day Shred and I've got mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I can actually see a difference in my body after only 10 Days of the 30 Day Shred. I've got arm muscles and leg muscles and collarbones. My stomach is smaller - visibly so. I'm fitting into smaller clothing.

But the weight isn't coming off like it was when I was running.

I'm building muscle, blah, blah, blah. I know I am. I can see it. But the scale is just depressing.

I think this week, I'm going to make the running a priority and do the 30 Day Shred 2 or 3 times, instead of the other way around.

90 Days of Madness is still underway. I'm on Day 29. Tomorrow marks the 30 day point and the 1/3 of the way through this crazy scheme.

I've learned a lot about myself in the past 30 Days. Namely, I've learned that if I want to make fitness and exercise part of my life, I can do that. I've taken the time to say no to invites, put people off and spend precious free time on me and my goals - and no one has fallen apart yet. I've learned that the excuse of "I don't have time" is really just that - an excuse.

Someone told me a long time ago, that if we really want to do something, we do it. Otherwise, we put it off and make up excuses to justify why we're not doing something we think we should. That rankled at the time, because I thought that no one should tell me whether or not I was deliberately not doing anything, but there is a lot of truth in it. Like 100% truth.

If we want to do something, we do it.

If I want to do something, I do it.

61 Days to Go.
