It's a lifetime Change!

The morning walk is going to work in my schedule great!   This morning towards the end of our walk, I mentioned to my friend, "so just think, after a year of this how great we are going to feel".   She said, "yes, but lets focus on when we reach our goal....think of all those people that are in shape.  They don't need to lose weight but they exercise to stay in shape."   Hmmmm.   Good point!  I have went through several times in my life that I have exercised routinely, to lose weight.  It's always been seasonal for me, I lose the weight, feel better and lose my focus. 
I have spent alot of time thinking about this today.  Thanks Christy...your right, it should last a lifetime, not just a year, its a lifestyle change!  Not only do we have to stay focused in our eating, but we have to continue the healthy lifestyle, which includes the daily exercise.  
I have enjoyed watching, "The biggest Loser" over the last couple of years.  The weight loss is amazing, the transformation taking place in the lives of the contestants is incredible, and the Marathon at the end is always so inspiring to me.  I am going to set a goal for myself, that when I attain my goal weight, I want to run a marathon.  I want to feel that accomplishment of having achieved that goal.  I tell this to my husband, and he kinda smirks, and says, "OK".  I really don't think he believes me, that I am going to ever get to my goal weight, let alone run a marathon, but "I AM and I WILL" .  I am excited, it's gonna be great!! :)
