Walk It Off

Running/ Walking is my favorite exercise!!! Outdoor that is....For many different reasons, because I always start out like what the hell am I thinking, this is hard and end up like I FREAKING DID IT!!!

Today as I was making my way back home, I started to think of how all of this started....In 2007 I was given devastated news, news that shattered my heart and left me in a very bitter place in life...I was given a 5 to 10 years time limit on someone that is a big chunk of my heart, in order to sooth my heart at that time, I looked for something positive to motive me and keep me going...I set out goals that overall would empower me and help my love after 5 years and in the long run if I met my goals they would benefit ME before it would benefit the next person. Those goals were/are: Graduate College with a B.A - after transferring 4 times to 4 different college one of them being a damn good school with a free ride, the thought became blurry and it was a goal that I often pushed to the back.[Check] I graduated May 2009 (5 years later after graduating H.S, not to bad for a shawty who didn't care much for it) Second Goal, was to land a job in my career of choice which is advertising, It took me 6 freaking long depressing months to find that BUT I DID IT and landed a great job at a major firm! Woot Woot. Third Goal- Was to save money, I am a hard worker but can spend every dime in one day buying stuff that I can't even tell you, so this was major but however something I now have under my belt....I am able to save a big chunk of my check and put it away and my savings grow every day so this is a working progress but its working up not down ;) Goal 4 is to be able to move out and be stable on my own...now that has changed to buying an apartment in my city NY! I am working on it but give me until next year! and Goal 5 lastly was to lose weight feel great!

Goal 5 was the goal I ignored often and I used every excused in the planet Some was

- Well if I had money I can afford a good gym and trainer
- I can't focus on what I am putting in my mouth because right now I have to study for this exam and this is quick and easy to eat and grab
-Healthy food is expensive the world wants me to be fat
- I could run but damn I just paid money to get my hair done
-I need running sneakers
- I am not really fat I am just thick curvalicious latina (really thick should have a limit and that limit shouldnt be at 2071lbs)


ETC ETC ETC, eventually I ran out of excuses and realize none of those excuses are valid so what am I waiting for....and so here I AM 7 weeks into this and 23 pounds later!!!! =] woot woot

sometimes it only takes just a little effort to get the ball rolling but once that ball is rolling ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP it is YOU!!!!!!!

- I am knocking out every goal I put for myself even the hard ones! CAUSE NO ONE CAN STOP ME BUT ME, MYSELF AND I
