Dear Self,
I'm going to be brutally honest with you, this attitude does not look good on you. Yes, periods suck. Yes your back has been hurting. Yes you've been tired. But this "Oh well" attitude has no excuses. Sunday you walked back into the house after a fast walk and wanted to kick the door down with joy. Saturday you ran a .4 miles when you thought you only had .1 in you. You finished the mile in 14 mintues. 14!!!! You were so excited! Friday you were giggling and laughing with your kids while they rollerbladed and you ran with them. You didn't even complain after falling and bruising both knees. Don't step on that scale. If you've lost weight over the last few days I'm not happy for you. Yes this was about weight. But it was about a new mindset also. In fact THIS WAS ALL ABOUT BEING A BETTER NEW YOU. This is all you Laura. Wake up and smell the roses, there's no magical cure that's going to do this for you. You put the food in your mouth. You kept your butt on that couch. You made those excuses. No one forced you to do all that. Today is a new day. Today is the day YOU tell ME off. Today is the day you stop typing, stop reading, stop procrastinating, put on those new shoes, and get out there and run. Hate me today. I'm ok with that. You're going to love me later. It's time you loved yourself. Get back to me when you're done whining and ready for winning. I love you girly. I just want to see the best for you.
Love always,
Your heart
Dear Heart,
I understand your concern. I should have taken into consideration your health is in my hands. I'd be pretty mad at me too. Just wanted to let you know after I read your note I decided to go out to our favorite park. I went 2 miles in 40 min which means I took 2 min off each mile. BOOYAH! IN YO FACE!
Love you too,
Self
