I've been spending time lately thinking about why I can't just do what I did in 2002-2003 when I lost almost all my college weight (yes, I realize I had been out of school for 2 + years). This weekend, I had an "ah-ha" moment. I can't just do what I did then because I am not the same person I was then. For one, I was 26. I didn't know shit when I was 26. Sure, I thought I did, but really I didn't (yes, I realize I will say the same thing about myself at 32 some six years from now).
So, I have to find what will work for me now. And unfortunately, as much fun as it is, I am beginning to think it won't involve Jazzercise. When I was 26, I didn't have a house or a dog to take care of. The dog needs exercise. He really is exercise on a leash. So, we're going to run/walk. I am trying to think of a place I'd like to go visit. A place I'd like to go visit that has a marathon. And train to run a half marathon. And my reward is getting to go to wherever it is that I want to run that half marathon...and having a vacation attached to it.
I know that typically, I am all talk. But I think I mean it this time. I can do that for myself. And a bad ass vacation is a good motivator. And doing both will be doing something for myself.
Yeah, so we're starting on that. Miner is along for the ride.
