Day 173

Day 173:  Soul searching

         Being by yourself is not the way to go.  Sometimes it's time to push new limits and meet new people.  They say it's a good idea to get a new hobby.

         I found a running club that met this morning.  I figured, what's the harm in working out before the run?  So I hit the gym and lifted some weights before joining the runner's club.

         The lesson I learned is that when you're trying to run long distances with hills, it's not a good idea to hit the gym beforehand.  Also, bring a bottle of water.  I didn't expect to do 5-6 miles, but that's what we did.  That's much more than my usual treadmill workout. 


          I made it to the end, but I was the last to make it there.  It looks like I will need to do some training in running and endurance if I want to keep up with these distance runners!

          Why the heck not?  I'm in the gym anyway.  I will up my daily training with more treadmill time.  Besides, I've been looking for ways to lose more weight.  I am not at the size I want to be  yet.
         

            Still, that's quite a change, isn't it?  You can see my fat gut hanging over in the picture on the left.  What a mess I was.  Is it any wonder the lady dumped me?

            It's a pity she won't want me back.  I screwed up.  But that is another story.

            Let's see if I can hit my target weight of 140 lbs or less.

            Until then, stay inspired everyone, and don't give up.

Day 127 - Making amends Introduction :                  Making immediate and direct amends is part of pretty much every spiritual healing program I know of.  The longer you hold it in, the worst it gets.  The longer you make someone wait, the less likely they will be willing to listen to you.  Freeing the body, mind, and soul of this stress is the best thing I can do for myself.   I do my best, and the rest is up to the powers that be. Changing how I think :                  I spent most of my day walking around.  I clocked in at 8000 steps today, but I think today's goal should be 12500 steps.  I was supposed to meet with my trainer but they told me an emergency had happened - death in the family.  I offered my condolences and wished them the best.  I did ask when the best time would be to contact them, since ...

Talking it out with Mom – Internal Conflict resolution Notes below: Introduction     1.   When the Lady broke up with me, she told me I had to fight off some internal demons.   My response to that was anger and frustration and she told me I was lying to myself.   I retorted back that she was wrong.   The reality is that the Lady was right.   I did have internal conflicts to face.   I understand now why she had to let me go.   She is correct.   I was not ready for a relationship.   How can I love someone else when I cannot love myself?     2.   I have spent a lot of time self reflecting.   The reality is that I do not love myself.   Why do I not love myself?   Because I’m not good enough.   Why am I not good enough?   Because throughout my life, my mother would always tell me that I needed to do better.   She always compared me to other kids.   She always told me th...
