My Current Weight Loss Journey:
Week 18 – Commitment Begins

Good news! I have taken the first step of commitment for the marathon by agreeing to participate in a 5K walk on November 3. My friend Melinda, who is not convinced she wants to do the walking marathon, did agree to the 5K. It’s a start for me to put my commitment into action.

However, I have some limiting beliefs that are surfacing even as I write this.

The last time I did a 5K race (5 kilometers, which is just over 3 miles) was when I was in my 20’s and came in last. Well, I didn’t really come in last! My husband stayed behind with me and allowed me to cross the finish line before he did, so technically I finished second to last!

If I judged myself based on that, I could say this is crazy! I’m almost 40 years older now and almost 40 pounds heavier now. (I was anorexic before I was obese and am now in the happy middle.) What makes me think I’m going to be able to pull this off without keeling over and passing out?

But I am not going to let my past dictate my future! I have a training plan. I have my buddy Melinda. I am very healthy. And I’m passionate about teaching people to believe in themselves, including myself.

I would love to hear your comments about what you are committed to accomplishing and what steps you are taking to do so. My goal is to take my fitness to the next level.
