Current Encouragments

So i just finished reading a blog and learned what NSV means (Non Scale Victory). I love it. And just this weekend I experienced my first! My friend begged me to go to the gym with her and i was hesitant b/c I just didn't feel like going. But in the end I went and ended up blowing my previous time out of the water.
I jogged for 24 minutes at 4.5 mph (which is both the longest and fastest I've ever jogged) and went 2.25 miles total (including a 6 min warmup and a 3 min cool down) for a total of about 33-34 min on the treadmil. It was amazing. I felt SO good. Two times I wanted to stop b/c i was in pain but I decided to keep going and both times it brought a smile to my face knowing I pushed my self.
Then this morning I woke up at 5:45 (2nd victory) and went for a 2 and a half mile jog/walk. There is a hill I have to go up which is killer but I actually jogged about 1/4 way up which I thought was IMPOSSIBLE. I started jogging, warmed up and finished jogging about .75 miles into it and that's when I started walking the rest of the way up the hill. Half way up the hill brought me to a mile. Then there was another little hill that I walked up and then jogged another half mile. I finished having gone a total of 2.70 miles.

VICTORY IS MINE! :D I never thought I'd be able to go that far and jog a good part of it. Next time (wednesday morning) I'm going to try to make it half way up the hill. I'll let you all know when I've jogged the whole way up. Not for awhile though :P
