The little successes are the best!

So the purpose of this blog is for me to document my journey of losing wieght, becoming a better runner, furthering my education and becoming an all together happier person. 

I have realized that even though i have end goals of where i want to be in the future, these goals will not keep me motivated every day... probably because they seem like the impossible.  Well, if i begin by celebrated the small successes that i have, then maybe these will help keep me going.

The last few weeks have been really tough.  I haven't really been able to stick to a schedule and definately have made some poor food choices, but there still have been a few things this week that make me believe that this is all possible and I will reach my goals eventually.

Here are a few of this weeks successes:

1. A coworker gave me a jacket to wear cause its freakin freezing in our office.  I put it on and it fit, which i wasn't too surprised about since she is about my size (if not a bit bigger).  What makes this a success is that i eventually looked at the size and it was a L.  Most of my clothes are XL or bigger, so putting on a L jacket that fit was pretty freakin exciting.

2. I went to WW this week and celebrated reaching my 10% mark.  Granted this isnt that big of a deal since, I am really double that because i lost about 22lbs before joining WW.  But it was exciting because again I did it. I reached a goal and i got some really nice bling out of it.  Its a small token to show how far i have come and all the hard work i have put in to get there.

3. Today was super hot so i decided to run on the tredmill instead of outside.  I havent run on a tredmill in about 3 months so that in itself was a little strange.  but it asked for my weight to calculate the calories and i automatically went to hit the 2 button to enter a 200+ weight which is what i was use to.  I was really freakin stoked when i realized that i am no longer (or will i ever be again) over 200lbs.  Thats crazy to me at this point. 

So in all yes this journey is hard and its taking forever, but im gonna get there one brick at a time.  Each of these small successes is another brick to add to my path to happiness.  Without each one i would be lost on this journey.
