what was i thinking

In case y'all didn't know I was a smoker, smoked for a long while up until 3 months ago when I quit. I know day by day it's a process to stay from not smoking. Today I went on a short 7 min jog, now I know a lot of you are prob log you only jogged for 7 mins that's useless, but I wanted to see how long I could jog before getting short of breath and 7 mins was awesome for me. i'll try it again tomorrow and see how long I can get then. I know this seems like another failure but I think not, part of this new year and me having this new body I want is also having a better outlook on everything. If the outside is beautiful then the inside should match.

Day One :Epic Fail or Not

This past year I have done nothing but complain about the way I look but I don't do anything to change it either. My husband just came home from Afghanistan 5 days ago and he has been so supportive of me getting back in shape. He tells me time and time again he loves the way I look but he wants me to love it too. So yesterday we went and purchased new running shoes together and said we'd run together. My husband is a marine and very fit, he runs 6 miles for a workout normally and he was willing to do my run/walk pace with me for his warm up so I wouldn't be alone. I know it's not easy and I don't ever expect that but boy did I  have a rude awakening this morning. We got up and I had a banana for breakfast and go ready and started stretching. We started out at slow jogging pace and it was great until we round the corner and I had to do a walk. I tried to a jog again but I just became short of breath. We did a walk instead today but instead of getting the workout I was looking for I got  something else just amazing. My husband turned and looked at me and said " At least you're trying  baby, you did good for  not running in forever!". Having his encouragement is amazing and knowing that he believes in me even when I pretty much walked my  first day just gives me more motivation to keep trying. who cares if I have to do a fast pace walk for a few months at least when I am to do a full jog I will be so proud of that and be proud that I didn't give up. It's a new year and I'm gonna make sure every step I take is a step in the right direction to a healthier me.
