Visualize whirled peas


Remember that smart alecky bumper sticker?  Visualize whirled peas?  LOL

As I've mentioned before, I think visualization is a very helpful tool.  I've been nasty sick the past few days, so I haven't done anything to lose weight.  I don't know what I put on while I was visiting my family, but I know it was enough to make my loose pants feel tighter.  I weighed myself today, and I was down to my recent highest - which I guess if you count Christmas vacation, is not my recent highest anymore, but since I didn't weigh myself, we'll just ignore that.  The weight is gone, no harm, no foul.  ;-)

I've been spending a lot of my sick hours thinking about my next moves.  I'm very excited to start training for the half marathon.  I already have that planned out, but I will adjust depending on my knees and how my body responds.  I already know I can do 3 miles fairly easily, so that's where I'm going to start.  3 miles, every other day, for 2 weeks.  Then I add miles on as I go, and the week before I do the 13.1 mile run, I plan to do 15 miles, that way the 13.1 will seem easy.  :)

I can see myself crossing the finish line.  I can see myself in the gym, every day, working out hard.  I can see myself getting down to a fighting weight.  I like what I see.  I see beyond that too - I see myself doing new things I've never done like surfing...or wearing an outfit that I liked, and not worrying about bad angles.  ;-)  I see myself healthy and fit, and living a life I barely recognize right now...and I can't wait.

Good for you!! I think visualization is a great tool. I had to visualize myself as a non-smoker, so I get the mind games we play with ourselves.

If you do 13.1 miles I will be more than impressed!!!!
