Dear Food
This has been a long in coming letter to you. Im sorry Ive had to make some abrupt changes in our relationship. Im sure you understand. It couldnt go on like this forever. One of us had to make a change and it seems that you were happy living a stagnant life of just being shoved into my mouth with no thought to how this was going to affect my weight down the road.
I dont want to hurt your feelings. Weve been together a long time now. Good times. Bad times. Every holiday together either enjoying each others company or over a toilet bowl wishing wed never seen the likes of one another. Youve been with me through every break up and every death Ive had to endure. And yet, here I am letting you know Im unhappy.
Dont think of this as goodbye but rather a break until I can figure out how we can have a friendship together. One of mutual understanding. Friends with benefits so to speak. Youll find someone else to love you the way I did. Trust me youre a hard one to resist.
I had a friend ask me today to be their accountability support today.
Me.
I cant even begin to tell you how honored and shocked I am that someone would think I was deserving of this. People around me are moving more. Im not forcing them. Theyre doing it for themselves. People are reading my blog or seeing me take the stairs and they are following suit. Being on a life changing journey really does start to affect those around you. They start moving more and all of a sudden you feel a sense of responsibility accountability. People start to ask little things how did you start whats the name of the podcast how do you stay motivated can I walk with you and before you know it they are forging their own journey. It is such an honor to be a part of that. Even if it just for a moment. The more I move. The more you move. The more you move. The more I move. Round and round we go! I want more people to move. People are starting to ask about my runs and whats my weigh in is going to look like the following Saturday. Talk about incentive. Its not only about not letting myself down but now its about making sure other people arent let down as well.
I have another friend that said she walked yesterday because I walk more. So I did the only thing I could think of. I dedicated my c25k run to her today. It was a hard run but I didnt want to come back and have to say sorry, I didnt do it today There was no motivation during the run. Just determination to get it done for myself and my friend.
Today was the last run that included any type of walking interval mid run.
Did you just read what I wrote?
No more walking intervals from here on out. Friday is 25 minutes. Next week is all 25 minutes sessions. Week #8 is 28 minutes and the last week is 30 minutes.
*deep breath*
Dont panic.
Never in my life (previous to Dec 29th 2009) did I ever think Id be this close to running for 30 minutes straight. Week 1 and 2 seem so far away and if I were to run for 60 seconds now, Id be like is that it?
1 minute 6 weeks ago.

Thats amazing.
To all my friends that are moving a little more today than yesterday
Youre amazing.

Awesome, inspiring post. It's really neat to see how infectious your lifestyle changes have affected other people around you. I can see how you'd get a big boost of motivation and excitement from that, from people asking you to share your 'secrets of success.' And it's neat how some of them are following in your footsteps. It's pretty amazing to imagine that less than 2 months ago you were only able to run for 60 seconds, and now you're about to go into 30 min non-stop runs.
Keep up the good work, you're doing great.
