Hey guys. I'm sorry it's been awhile, almost 2 months! I haven't been blogging because I've been ashamed of what I haven't been doing. I have a lot of people that have told me that they were motivated by my determination, and I haven't had any determination in two months. It makes me sad and disappointed in myself.
The beginning of the year I was so motivated and worked out all the time, and I loved it. For some reason, I stopped pushing myself. I can't explain it, but I have to get past it. I have to get back to it. I'm so afraid that my goal of running a 5k NEXT month is going to pass me by. Unfortunately, I am going to have to start the Couch to 5k, almost all over again, but I'm going to do it. I have to. I have to change my environment to fit my needs.
Tonight, I caught up on this week's Biggest Loser. Contestants that had been eliminated were given another chance to go back to the campus. I feel like maybe this is my new chance. I feel like I was eliminated early in my own game, but I've got another chance to get back into it. It's a chance I have to take, and I might get eliminated again, but I will not fail, no matter how many chances it takes for me to get it. I still plan on running a marathon in a year. It's a very scary thought though, one year, and I have to start all over again. Ahhh!
Ok. Enough. Tomorrow morning, I'm back to it. I have to be, I don't have a choice. Thanks to everyone who reads my blog, you help motivate me! Please, if you don't mind, continue the encouragement. I really do need it. I know technically, I've got a people doing this with me, but I work-out alone, and sometimes it's difficult, especially because I get bored. Thanks for everything. Good luck in all of your endeavors!
Grace, Peace, and Love,
Jayna
Jayna, I'll share that I never seem to be at a point in my life where I stay motivated to workout for very long, but like you, at the beginning of the year I committed to myself that I would run a 1/2 marathon before the year was up. The goal seemed like a stretch considering that a few years back I'd decided to run a 5K and didn't even do that. Nevertheless, I stuck to a training regime that I found online (marathonrookie.com) and I'm thrilled to say that I just ran the 1/2 marathon on Friday!! It feels phenomenal to reach that goal! I hope that can be an encouragement to you, since you're such an encouragement to others :)

That's awesome Leia! Congrats! Thanks for the words of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteHi Jayna. I randomly came across your most recent post - I know it's been awhile - and I thought I'd offer some encouragement. I'd like to learn a little bit about how you're working to accomplish your goals. I think your goals are ones that can be reached and I think that it will be easier than you really know.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a plan to help people in your situation. I'd like to find out a little bit about how you are working toward your goal, and what some of your difficulties have been like. I've had a hard time losing a bit of weight in the past myself, so I know that it can be a hard thing to deal with.
It would be a lot of help to me, and maybe a lot of other people too, if I could interview you a little bit about how things are going. What would you say to this?
K, Sorry I just read this it's been a bit. I think that'd be great if you still want to.
