I woke up this morning and ever muscle in my legs and even my mid section hurt! I know it was from running yesterday, but even so I have never felt more proud of me. I could have moaned and complained and stayed in bed as the old Kristin would have done. Instead, I pulled my tired, sore, achy ass up off the sofa, and I grabbed Max and we headed out the door.
Now mind you, I did not run today. But I did walk my three mile walk, and yes it was hard and I was slower than normal. I did it however. I pushed through the soreness and finished.
6 months ago, this would not have been me. I am such a different person today. I am an "exercise junkie"! I actually want to work out and I am looking forward to it these days!
Maybe I will actually look 100% different come next June. Perhaps my enormous butt will finally fit into a size 12 again. It is exiting to wonder how this will all play out. But today I am focused on working what I have right now..today!
I am not good at long term planning, perhaps because I lost sight of the future when Adam died. I am better at the short term goals.
I am so glad I did it, sore or not!

New follower here. Great job on pushing through the pain and doing it any way!! I hope to someday be an exercise junkie, but I'm not feeling too confident about that right now...I will be banded next week.
Yay for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is great, I can not wait until I am cleared to work out. For now I just walk.
Good for you for pushing through the soreness.
I'm proud of you!!
I am soooo proud of you!! You truly are an inspiration to me - and I will think of YOU walking when I don't want to get moving!
Thank YOU!

You did it, and for that I am SUPER proud of you.
