Terrible, Awful, No Good, Friend

Why helloooooooo there!  You may be thinking, "where has this girl been?" or "I didn't really miss her at all." either reaction is perfectly fine with me.  I actually deserve both reactions!  I'm going to break it down for you, and be completely honest...........................................I took a break.  I didn't take a break from Body By Vi, because that makes me feel way to good.  I took a break from focusing on numbers.  I was in the process of training for my latest half marathon (which I will share more about in a minute) and I began to "focus" a little too much of my every thought on my numbers.  Numbers to me simply means the scale numbers, but to someone else it might be inches, or time you use to work out, or calories, or anything that preoccupies your mind.  I originally started the BBV journey to lose weight, which I still desire to need and want, but now it is also about my health.  I yearn to be healthy, to feel good, to have more energy, to be around a little longer for my family and kids (whether they like it or not).  And once I subtracted the "numbers" from my every day focus it has made my journey so much more enjoyable.  And I feel great.  I didn't change my eating, for a day, a week, a month, or even a year, I changed my lifestyle. Like I have stated before this is a marathon not a sprint.  So, with that said I will be weighing in ONCE, yes I said ONCE a month.  Kind of unheard of for me, but I think it will be the best thing for me, and that is finally what something is all about ME!  I hope you welcome me back with open arms, I hope you understand where I am coming from, and I hope that if you are still thinking about joining this journey that it is NEVER too late.  Jump on board the BBV train! 

Now with that ginormous weight lifted off of my chest, I wanted to tell you all about my Women's Half Marathon I completed (notice I said complete and not compete) last Saturday.  It was hot, and miserable, I will NOT try and sugar coat.  My goal was to remove almost 25 minutes from my previous half time, which is quite unusual.  But my first half time was so terrible I didn't think it was that far out of reach.  Well with the heat as terrible as it was, I was only able to cut 19 MINUTES!  Woo hoo, I am still extremely happy, I mean it wasn't my perfect goal, but I cannot gripe about my improved time!  Just gives me another goal to push myself through for my next half!  I swore the entire time I was running this one I wasn't going to sign up for the next one in November, but now I am leaning more towards doing it.  It is just such an amazing feeling of accomplishment, gives me something to work towards and push myself towards.  What are your goals?  What are you desiring to accomplish?  What are you pushing yourself towards?  Believe me you CAN do it, if this chubby girl can run, YOU can do anything you set your little heart and mind to. 

Thanks for listening, and I promise it won't be as long until I write again!  Smooches!
