125

For some reason 125 is my dream weight. Whenever I catch myself thinking about what I would love to weigh, "125" is the number that pops into my head. And for some reason, I always doubt myself.

You'll never weigh 125.
You'll look to skinny (weirdest thought I have but it's true...I think this!).
That's unattainable.
You're body won't let you get down that low.
And on and on and on.

But since I know 2012 is going to be an amazing year of some pretty amazing accomplishments, I want weighing 125 to be one of them. For the past couple of days I've started taking a look at my "self talk". And you know what? I've noticed that it's all relatively negative. I focus a lot of my thoughts on weight and body image and am constantly dwelling on the negative rather than the positive. It's time for a change:

• I have to be my biggest cheerleader. If I'm not rooting for myself, who is??
• I have accomplished so much in my life and am capable of some pretty amazing things. I am strong, powerful and independent. I need to constantly remember that if I believe it- I can achieve it!!
• If I want to accomplish a goal there must be action! I can't wish myself healthy and fit (or 125 pounds) and I sure as hell can't wish myself to run 26.2 miles. I must do and do well!

So with that I will end by saying---I just got home from the gym where I ran (and walked a little) 5 miles! Yay me!!! :)
