Now I'm a runner. I was doing a walk-run program, eating better, and drinking water. Was the weight coming off? Yes. Was I feeling better? Yes, I was feeling better physically and my mental state was much, much better.
The snowball never stopped rolling. In fact, it was all coming together so perfectly that it's a bit of a blur.
At this time, workouts online weren't all that big. Somehow I had heard about this program called Insanity. My blood was pumping. I was listening to "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys. I was fucking unstoppable. So naturally, in my high-on-life state, a program called Insanity felt like the perfect next step.
I found this DVD program used on Ebay. Ugh. It was pricey. I didn't have the money. But I continued to do my running and short 10-minute resistance band workouts while I went old school. You guessed it. I saved my money until I had enough to buy a used set.
Somehow, I was able to con my husband into waking up at 0430 to join me on the Insanity train (before the sun came up!). He stuck with it 2 or 3 times. I on the other hand was hooked. I mean, seriously hooked. Okay, I was addicted. Things hurt. I cried thinking I "couldn't" do the exercises and that it was too hard. I was tired. And I was not stopping.
This period of my weight-loss journey is comparable to the snowball ROLLING down a steep hill. I didn't stop. I felt like things were just perfect.
Remember to enjoy the journey even when it feels like you "can't" do it.
