Run for my life...

July is coming to an end. I didn't reach my goal for the month but I'm fully aware of why. In the beginning of the month I had waaayyy too much mango margarita mix. I swole up like a balloon. It was not cute. My face blew up and everything. Once that came down, I had an epiphany about my birthday. I will be 35 and it's five years from the age my mother died. I realized that I began my journey to prevent certain illnesses but I really hadn't dedicated 100%. You get out what you put in. I was losing but I wasn't feeling as good I should health wise. So, a couple of weeks ago I went all in. I started doing two a days and I just started pushing my body harder. I began running through the pain instead of easing up when it began. In two weeks, I see a differance already. Which brings me to reason number two...working out so hard has caused a pause in my weight loss. I know I'm building muscle and I'm fine with that. I'm sure next month I will start to see the .25" drop again. But if I don't, I know that will be the result of Insanity. Yep, I said INSANITY!!!  I'm waiting for my disks to arrive so I can begin on Mon. I'm going to make it drop one way or another to meet my birthday goal and to feel better overall.

So, if you need me I will be running at 430 am or 545 (depending on which running partner I'm with) and again at 7pm. I refuse to let my illnesses stop me from doing anything. They may slow me down but never will they stop me.
