Tell me I can't do it!

I go to the store one day to pick out a new outfit. Yes it was one of those days. I start browsing and as I am looking at all of the price tags I start thinking, "$30.00 for this? It is basically a sheet that I can drape over myself!" Why clothing is so expensive is beyond me! I get that it is a necessity but soon I will be walking around naked! I keep browsing and then I see it...well her. This fit, skinny, great looking person! "I WANT TO BE LIKE THAT," I think to myself... I will do it. Well a couple of weeks pass by and everyday I am looking in the mirror just wishing I could be like her, but doing nothing about it. I keep watching my pants get tighter. I would try and convince myself that it is not me and that it is simply my pants. THEY KEEP SHRINKING! HOW DARE THEY DO THIS TO ME! Can't they see that my self-esteem is slowly driving itself into the ground!?!?!? I never did convince myself... Well another week passed and I would feel like this:

 Yes... "The Ultimate Dream" If only I could erase some of that chub that is not slowly, but QUICKLY becoming part of me. I walked into the living room thinking of some way that I could get into the groove with getting into shape for summer! No more of this, "I am in shape...round is shape." NO I AM GOING TO DO THIS! So I looked in the mirror and thought, maybe if I tell myself I can't do it...I will! So I started writing little sticky notes that seriously told me that I can't do it. If anyone or anything tells me that I can't do it, I WILL SHOW THEM!

So, I wrote them and stuck them a few places...I looked at them, and they actually made me mad! So I sat there saying, "YES I CAN DO IT!" After a few times of saying it, something funny happened. The "YOU CAN'T" fell down and it simply said "DO IT!" It was like someone was tormenting me and then finally just said "DO IT!" So I have been! They say that if you can run an 8 minute mile, you are in pretty good shape. Well I started and I ran a 9 minute mile yesterday. FIRST DAY! I AM FEELING GREAT! I get up the this morning and I felt like a new person already. Today it was an 8 1/2 minute mile. I am going to make it! My goal is not to get super skinny, but simply be toned and in great shape! Well here is to my journey! DO IT! Wish me luck! :)
