In November 2011 I decided to go semi-vegetarian so we only eat meat maybe once or twice a month. In doing this I stopped cooking 'food' out of a box. This means I've already lost some weight, 14 pounds to be exact. I was stoked when I did this, but now it is time to take it a step higher. It is time to exercise. This means less time with one of my best friends. I am talking about my couch. My beautiful, soft, large couch. It has always been there for me. It lets me fall and flop on it without complaint. It never tells me to go away and always welcomes me with open arm rests. Oh couch, I feel...not so bad about this.
I have always wanted to be a runner. Before it wasn't for weight loss, it was just because I get all green with envy when I see the people in my city out running. I want to do it to!
You may be wondering why I never have. Well, let me tell you-I'm lazy. I hate to sweat, and when I get tired I usually just 'take a break' which means I stop and then don't get started again. I am committing to change that today. I promise-wait let me say it the way I like to:
'Hey self, you need to get in gear. From now we are going to keep going. When it burns we are going to smile and go faster. When we feel like we can't take another step, we are going to grit it and go. We have goals to reach self, and we are going to accomplish them!'
Dear couch, I'm sorry, but we have to break up.
