It seems I'm starting off this year with a pretty good start. Already I have been doing exercise everyday in the form of walking while we are handing out flyers from house to house doing the network marketing business all over Panama City. On top of that in the evenings we go to the Cinta Costera to walk some more and it has felt really gratifying. The Cinta Costera to me was really a hidden gem because even though I had passed by Balboa Avenue and seen it from a distance so many times I had never actually walked it or experienced it. Although I don't really like crowds seeing how everyone goes out to work out helps motivate me a lot and then I dismiss the whole "crowd factor". Alot of people take their pets on walks so every night I get to see a good handful of cute dogs & cats happily walking down the Cinta Costera. Not to mention the City lights reflecting on the water that is quite a sight to see!
Last night I started power walking for the first time because I had been going at a pretty slow pace but my Husband always wants me to push myself further because he know's that I have a lot more potential then I believe I do. At one point he even left me way behind which I then had to force myself the courage to ward off my aggarophobia and just keep going forward. I mentally kept telling myself I could reach the far end on my own and kept reminding myself of the goals I'd like to acheive and before I knew it I was meeting up with him at the far end. A month ago I had trouble breathing going up a flight of stairs pretty soon I know I'll be able to start light running till I can handle running fast. There are often times where I feel so tired I rather not make the drive out there but Miguel is my driving force he always reminds me how important it is that we get in shape and that we continue forth and not give up.
It's still kind of difficult for me going from house to house leaving flyers if I'm left by myself but I know that, that fear I once had will soon start to diminish it's all about getting yourself out there and facing your fear and somehow I think that the time is now and it wasn't meant to happen before. I am now even going outside to water the plants on my own which is really a huge step for me. I think little steps definitely become larger steps later on. I am eating a lot less and getting my vitamins from protein drinks we are promoting which are definitely reducing my hunger I used to be hungry every 2 hours or pretty much all the time now it's even difficult for me to fathom how less hungry I am. I now eat junk food very rarely and don't even miss it as much it will be pretty difficult for me when Mcdonald´s releases the Hello Kitty Happy Meal again but perhaps then I'll actually find a way where I can purchase the toys without having to buy the food also.
There are times where I feel like giving up just like everyone else but I really do not want to go back to an office job where I have to clock in every morning so I'm going to keep motivating myself to keep pushing forward and working as hard as I can.
Note : When I wrote this entry it was the beginning of the year I kept it saved in my drafts but never ended up posting it till now.
