That wasn't so bad! (Day 47: 4/16/10)

What's the good news?

I did the physical fitness this morning! Ignoring the actual results, I feel very proud of myself for going through with it! It would have been so easy to just flip back over and say, "ehh I'll do it next week", but I took the initiative got it done.

When it came time to do the mile, things didn't go like I was used to. Before stepping up to the task, I said, I am going to finish this with energy and be proud for doing so. It happened. Back in the day when I had to do this for school, I remember feeling like I was going to die when I had to do the mile. It would take me all class period long, and I was be exhausted for the rest of the day. Today, I got the mile done in about 18 minutes, I didn't lose my breath, I felt great afterward. It was a joy. I even went out afterward and spent the rest of the day with my sis enjoying some funny funny movies and having a great time. I never felt tired. Not once.

I got a very high score on my Flexibility test. I am apparently very flexible. This isn't really all that new, since I have always been pretty flexible. I was excited to see I score 95 percentile in Flexibility.

I just need to work on the Aerobic and Strength area. I'm not even worried about the weight portion. Once again, weight is irrelevant to me. It's all about the actual health. I suppose tomorrow will be my first day of taking the initiative to get active. I'm starting that program where I exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. I'm excited to get started. I love the choices that I am making and I can't wait to see the results that I will ring in.

Can't I just say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the universe for all of this that I am able to achieve and yet, still have the capacity to hope and wish for more. It is a blessing and I enjoy every day of it.

So are you feeling it too? Strap on the tennis shoes with me and let's sing "Go the Distance" til we get there!
