It's All About the Journey . . . Right?

When I began this year all I wanted to do was get back to 200. Somewhere along the way I started wanting to go so much further than that. There was a time when I thought I could never get below 160. Well, now that I am at 180 I want so much more for myself! I see myself getting to 140. As in, by January 1, 2010 I see it! I believe it is possible!
Suddenly I am this lady who "eats clean" on a daily basis and is unwilling to buy foods with high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils in them. I make quinoa for supper and sweet potatoes, broccoli, onions, garlic, asparagus, and zuchini are things I eat almost daily! (I still struggle with eating right all of the time. My dear friend Robin, who is so WISE says that I am an all-or-nothing kinda gal and I know that she is right. But I am working on that.)
I am an exercise fanatic, finding my favorite activity of the day to be horribly difficult workouts at the gym! I ran a half-marathon last week in 2 1/2 hours!
Crazy, crazy, crazy! I'm likin' these changes and just hope that I can remember how awesome this feels on that day in the not-so-distant future when I wake up depressed and hungry and ready to eat an entire batch of cookies with ice cream!

  1. Good for you Marti! Keep up the great work. On that day you want to eat the whole batch of cookies with ice cream, stick to two with a glass of skim. For me working out is the stress reliever I need, it is just keeping in the habit of regular workouts.
