There were messages form so many of you, words of encouragement, even recipe ideas from ex-boyfriends ?!? Anyway, I am just so super grateful for the few moments you have spared to respond to my post. Thank you!

Well it all began this morning. I was awake before the crack of dawn (don't you hate it when you wake up 10 minutes before your alarm?). I'll be honest, I had a moment. Would I or wouldn't I? I changed into my exercise gear and looked out the back door. It was pitch black and raining. That's it, I'm going back inside. As I took off my shoes and socks, I felt that twinge - the twinge of guilt.
'C'mon O'Connor, SUCK IT UP, it's a little bit of rain for goodness sake!'
If I gave up now, before I had even started, I would feel like a damn fool.
'Think of how it will feel to be running free in the rain, think of the sense of achievement when you've finished'.
BAM.
I was out the door. Next thing I knew, I was at the end of the road running.
There was an encounter with a freshly paved footpath but I did pick myself up - 'soul building' I said to myself.
This is soul building and I like it.
Awesome!! You go girl! xo

ReplyDeleteGo you, Amelia! I meant to comment on Monday's post but I read it on my phone and more times than not, commenting on my phone results in me cursing and a comment disappearing into the online abyss. So. What a refreshingly raw post you have written, a lot of the hard work has been done already by verbalising (writing?) it out. Body weight and image is an awful thing. I cannot remember a time when it didn't affect me. You have a whole community rooting for you! The first day (and the rainy days!) are always the hardest.
