Too toot my own horn would be wrong, but I'm going to do it anyways... I went running today after accomplishing everything that was on my list of things to do! I downloaded that couch to 5k app and it actually isnt terribly unreasonable, I only have to run 3x a week and I dont think thats to much to overwhelm me. My problem isn't the wanting to be healthier or look better, its the OCD that ruins it for me.
With my OCD I find it very very difficult to follow through because if I miss even just one day i feel like an absolute failure. I then cant start anything til at least the next monday and by that time its so far into the month that I cant start until the beginning of the next month, and so on and so on.... its silly I know and even sillier when i say it outloud....but my brain doesn't understand. Why dont you just do it...seems easy right? But believe it or not it can cause such bad anxiety that I can go from running 3 days a week to hiding under the covers in my magical comfort zone called my bed.
So you see......this accomplishment is really something to write about and when I kick my first 5k's ass then I'll really have something to TOOT about :)
