First out door run of season. Due to cold, ice and my wimpiness I have chosen to run indoors on the elliptical for the winter months. Every day thirty minutes in the evening for my mental and physical health. Today was big for me, back to my last summer’s walking/running/transformational path.
As I ran I was aware of every fiber of my being. My playlist was extraordinary, weather cool and crisp. Not many other walkers/runners braving the cold. I had to snap pictures as I ran. In my head I kept thinking last year I couldn’t run. Running with a full heart, tears brimming my eyes. Last year I was 83 lbs heavier, walking was difficult. I kept thinking surely I will have to walk. I didn’t not only was I able to run my path from last summer I was able to run the beach, down to the clubhouse where the boats were not docked yet. Last year I could barely make it around the block. I was prediabetic, boarderline high blood pressure and cholesteral. At my August visit I had cut my numbers in half. Not one pill is being taken for any of these ailments, today or in the future. Thanks God.
What a difference a year makes. Thanks God, just thanks. I still have 6.8 lbs to go to reach my goal (release of 90 lbs). I am doing it, slowly but surely I am releasing physical and psychological weight. My life is forever transformed, each step, breath, moment a gift. My heart is filled with profound gratitude for all that is. Each struggle, victory, sunrise and sunset. Each one a little brighter. I am here, life is good. Love to all! May you know the power of transformation, it is there, a breath away. Reach out and grab hold, YOU got this!
