Bumps in the Journey
Been a little bit in a funk lately. Messed up my knee during Boot Camp and then tried to go back after week only to find that it was still having major issues. Now I've been out of Boot Camp for two weeks. Sure I should be going to the gym and doing other things but I find when I get injured I get depressed, frustrated, and Annoyed. So I just end up sitting at home instead of going to the gym, which is not helpful. I'm trying to pull myself out of this funk. So the biggest loser 5K Chicago is tomorrow. My goal was to run it, but with my injury I haven't been able to do any running. I did run once this week to test it out and I did okay. So my goal is to still try and run as much as I can even though I'm not as far along in my training as I want to be. So when I went downtown to pick up my packet today, I kind of felt re-energized and ready to do this. It's about time that I stop feeling sorry myself and get myself going. I need to not be so self-destructive, I've come along way and continue to slowly lose weight. But I really need to get my focus back on me so that I could be making the healthy choices that I need to make. Downtown I met up with Jennifer, and we got to pick up our packets and meet Filipe and Sione from the Biggest Loser. I know they've had their ups and downs too and that just reminds me that this journey is full of ups and downs but I can't give up even if I'm injured. After picking up our T-shirt we stopped in to see Danni talk. It was interesting because Danni was talking about a pipe cleaner... that once you bend the pipe cleaner you can never get a perfectly straight again and that's how life... is full of twists and turns.
