WK 2 Day 7 Need another goal

[Guest guest]

HI decided to start that 8 week walk/run program in the files. I started

today and walked for 30 minutes total. I really didn't want to go out there

and walk outside ...too self conscious I guess. But I did it any way. I hope

it gets easier but it probably won't since I'm going to have to start

jogging soon..then I will be really self conscious. I also did an hour of

Kenpo

today. I enjoyed all the kicking and punching.

The problem is that yesterday I went into Kohl's (A nice clothing store here

in the Midwest)and I cried when I got back to the car...All the beautiful

clothes... I just want to fit into a smaller size so badly. Everything I try

on...just looks awful.. I'm going to make myself crazy and depressed if I

continue to focus on the scale and on what size I want to be.

I think I'm going to switch my focus more on setting an athletic goal..

Such as the 8 week running program to build up to 2 miles of continuous

running in 8 weeks. There is a fit test that came with my exercise DVD's that

I

haven't done so I think I'll do that too and see how far I've come in twelve

weeks...That is where my focus should be. Plus of course eating better all

the time. and getting more workouts in every week... The rest (the weight

and smaller sizes) should just happen.

Thanks for listening
