Tonight was rough. We were jogging for 90 seconds and then walking for 2 minutes. On the last 2 jogs, I heard in my mind, "I can't do this. I am going to have to quit and tell everyone."
And then I told myself, "I can do this! I can! I have to!" And so during the last 30 seconds or so of the last 2 jogs, I was saying it out loud.
"I can do this. I can do this. I can do this."
And you know what? I did.
My self confidence has never been better. I am looking in the mirror and not hating what I see. I now see a woman who is jogging. Who is getting off her behind and exercising.
It's hard. Tonight kicked my butt. But I held on and I finished.
I can do it.
I can.

Good for you. Isn't that just the best feeling?
You are doing great! You can do it! 90 seconds is a long time when your doing something streneous like running.
I seriously got teared up when I read this because I know how that feels. I know that when I was able to keep going when I absolutely didn't think I could anymore I felt so good about myself and what I accomplished. It just feels good to do something that you never in a million years thought you would be able to, huh?
And the more you do it, the EASIER it will get. I promise!
Because of you, I jogged this morning and thought I might die on my first jog. But I am still here and I actually jogged a couple times in my 2 miles. Thanks for inspiring me.
