Of course, on this journey I find inspiration everywhere.

This morning I couldn’t sleep.  No idea why.  Just couldn’t.  So I got up and turned on my DVR to watch last weeks “Biggest Loser”.

Ali is, of course, a fabulous inspiration.  She’s just amazing.  However, what actually brought me to tears today was Kelly.

The best thing in this entire show that I’ve seen so far, the most inspiring, the proudest, was when Kelly finished the triathalon and ran over that finish line at the top of the stairs.  Think about it.  Even she pointed out that in the very beginning she could barely get up the hill to pick her trainer.  Now she completed a triathalon!  HOLY CRAP!

I remember that feeling from when I completed my first mile at a run.  A MILE!  Now, I am not able to work out more than about 45 minutes a day, but there are some things I need to do to step it up.  I need to get in more cardio.  I have been meaning to get off my butt and run when I get home for a few weeks now.  It’s time for me to start doing that.

I mean, I’m sitting here wishing I could sleep, watching “Biggest Loser”, had a huge dinner last night and am strangely tummy-rumbling hungry right now, it’s still dark outside, my dog is sitting here curled up next to me, I have my weekly weigh-in in 3 hours, and all I want to do is go put on my running shoes and go outside to run.

I hate to say I’m not going to, but I’m not going to.  This is the worst time for me to run.  I can’t eat anything or drink anything until after my weigh-in.  That’s just how it is with me.  If I’m going to Weight Watchers, everything else for the day gets put on hold until after.  I even stop and buy my weekly Starbucks on the way in so I can drink it immediately after I weigh.  And today I have plans to go to the Bridal Symposium (My first time as a BRIDE!!) all day, so a run won’t happen until, perhaps, this evening.

I just am extremely inspired now and even told DF last night that I’m going gung-ho again starting Sunday, when I can spend the day shopping and cooking.

I really look forward to going downwards again.
