So it’s been 10 days since I started my 100 day journey to a new me. I thought I would take a moment and reflect on my journey so far.
The first couple of days was really hard, especially when try to get it going. I seriously had to take a moment, sit down and really think about if this is truly what I want to do. Was I ready and committed to make this change? Was my support system in place? These were some really big questions. I started added to this journey to my writing blog to be a motivator and keep me on track. It keeps me accountable. I know that my blog, My Thoughts and Dreams, is mainly for my everyday life and thoughts and I promise I won’t stop posting those as well, but daily I’m going to track my journey as well. It feels like a confessional and a group meeting all in one. I love it. I know that not everyone comments or “likes” the blog per day but I don’t mind. I do believe people are reading it and that keeps me going. The second thing is that I’m showing it to my friends and family. They are seeing the difference.
I’m getting used to getting up earlier in the day and doing a workout whether it be a run or an actual cardio workout. I really have stuck to my guns when getting to the gym after work as well. I didn’t let any excuses get me down. Over the course of the first 10 days I went a total of 6 days. That’s over 50% of the time. The weekend is harder but I’m working on it.
Over the course of the next 10 days I’ll actually be on vacation in a remote area with no gym. So my daily activities will have to do. I can do a standard cardio routine where I’m at including running, biking, and hiking.
So far I’ve lost a total of 5lbs. I think the first 10 days are the hardest and I know that I have a long way to go to reach my goal I will continue on this journey. I’ll keep posting and hopefully you all will keep reading because like I said you are all part of my support system. Thank you!
