At the risk of sounding conceited, tonight I want to say
that I am proud of myself.
Over the past 5 ½ months there are plenty of things that
could have derailed my progress; my weight constantly staying between 157 and
160 lbs no matter how hard I try, my knee injury that came back to bite me, my
back giving out on me, a social life threatening to derail me, I could continue
on… Somehow though, I have continued trucking on.
I tend to discount my own accomplishments a lot, whether it
is because I don’t feel I am worthy of any sort of accolades, or whether I just
don’t want to make others feel bad, I don’t really know, I just feel
uncomfortable putting them out there.
But tonight is different, tonight I am proud. This weekend I
ran my second 5k, bettering my time by 2min 41sec, this week I finish the first
phase of New Rules of Lifting for Women (and tonight I did my squat sets at 100
lbs), and I got my body fat tested again and I am down to 18.0%. Hell yes!
So yes, tonight I am proud, tonight I am driven, and tonight
I don’t mind if others think I sound conceited.
