Day 15 and 16.

I honestly have to say that I am proud of myself. I have been consistently eating vegetables and proteins, DID NOT exercise on day 15 but I did yesterday. I began my training for a 5k in October. I think that I might be over doing it some, mainly because I have been aching in my knees and arms ALOT. Almost feels like it is arthritis. It definitely has been an emotional 2 weeks though, but I finally had my AHA! moment. I think that is why I have been able to keep consistent with eating habits. My moment was just realizing how lucky I really am. Not only health wise, but also in the sense of who I am and what I can do. I really have been short-selling myself, and not just with food, but with people as well. I've made these changes...Am I there? No...I don't think people really ever reach the point they want to be at early on in life, but my biggest realization is that we all become shadows at some point, that what we do now is so essential to our final moments when we look back. I don't want to look back and remember things that I shouldn't even worry about. I am healthy, beautiful, and talented, and I have restricted so much from myself simply by being afraid. That is not going to happen anymore. My life will be ruled by what I want, and not by what people think or say. Its rough, and there is much more ahead of me, I know this, but I know I will be prepared, and if I fall I will bounce back up. I have to say, its amazing to finally look in the mirror and smile.
