As most of you know, I have been on a weight loss journey since August 30, 2011, and have lost 60 lbs, and have been exercising. Yesterday 1/11/12, I went to the YMCA with a friend, and worked out. I started out on the stair climber machine, then went to the recumbent bike, walked, and then went back to the bike. By the time were finished, I had gone 10 MILES! Yes, I said 10 MILES! Oh, and BTW thanks to my new leg brace, I did this all with NO CANE! :)
If you would have asked me 6 months ago to do 1 mile, let alone 10, I would have laughed in your face, and then cried later, because I knew I couldn't do it. Not anymore! I know that a lot of my weight issues were from health issues, and medications, however I also know that some of it was from my own faults and issues, and to be frank, laziness. I was always active, but I never put forth the effort to make things better for myself, but NEVER AGAIN!!
I can say that I am FINALLY proud of myself! I don't know when or if I have ever said that about myself. I now know how it feels to feel like you have accomplished something that benefits me, instead of everyone else. I can now say, I AM PROUD OF ME!!!
