Everything starts somewhere

Why have I decided to reapply myself to getting fit again? What has dragged me back to this place I have been before. The origins lay in things that make me feel bad. Me not feeling attractive. Being sick and/or tired. Sad. Floating along wherever life took me instead of paddling to where I wanted to be. That turned into a joke which grew into a bet which has sprouted wings and fluttered like a promise. I have dabbled in the gym these last few weeks .. and actually enjoyed it - go gym buddy Marg. I've cut back on the crap thought there is a way to go on that one. Signed up for 12wbt and after a fruitless search went and bought yet another copy of Michelle Brudges book... watch my first copy turn up now :) So today I went to the gym with Nik and did 15mins on the spin bike, 15mins on the tready and 30 x 2 lots of arm exercises. Came home and took the boy to the beach which we both loved. Music, sunshine n enthusiasm... great mix. So I walked a way and then thought I'd jog. Now historically I suck as a runner but I thought give it a shot and clicked on my Nike Iphoneapp. 1.68km in 12:12. OK I won't be representing Australia at the next olympics but the impressive thing is I didn't stop... in fact I came close a couple of times but then pushed myself beyond that. Yay for me!!!
