Dusting myself off

I lay in bed this morning feeling sorry for myself and disappointed in myself and I thought, "ENOUGH." Enough of not being able to button my pants, enough of feeling tired and slow and dumpy, enough of being cross and surly, enough. So I sat down on the couch and decided to make a playlist for my shuffle and start Couch to 5K again. I decided to start on week two. I made my playlist and I went to the gym after work and I did the workout and it was hard. But it was also good to be back in the land of the fit and those trying to get fit. I used to be one of them, and then I strayed away for a long time. The thought of nights in the gym stretching out before me almost makes me feel like puking from the sheer monotony of it, but I am just going to take one workout at a time. I know from experience that the distances and times run in Couch to 5K are not going to transform my body but they will transform my life and hopefully motivate me to keep on pushing myself to be healthier. I am no longer going to mope around and feel like a lame suckass for giving myself fully to training for months upon months and then squandering all of that fitness. Moping is doing me no good! So I am just starting the fuck OVER.
