Sometimes you just have to turn off your brain.

In my head lives this weight loss bucket list.  Rarely do I share it with anyone, it's one of those personal things.  Maybe I don't share it because I am afraid I won't reach the goal or maybe it's because I may JUST change my mind. Yep that's it.. I do so love to change my mind.. =)    On that list is running a marathon.. A full on 26.something mile marathon.. I want to then put that sticker on the back window of my car and proudly display it to EVERYONE..   Today while speed walking around the track Jessica brought up that this weekend she looked into half marathons.. For the life of me I have no idea why it didn't click that if a full marathon is 26.2 miles that a half would be 13.1.. I said something like sure what is that 3 or 5 miles.. When she said 13.1 I swear my brain stopped processing all other thoughts and said. "huh, oh no you're not, you can't for xyz reasons..." And for a moment I was like hmm.. What excuse can I make to not do that..  It wasn't until later this evening that it dawned on me. The only reason I cannot do this is because my brain is telling me no and thus reminded me of the image above.
To be successful I need to control how my brain feels. If my brain keeps telling me I can't than I won't.. So what I instead told myself was "I got this, and I will be ok.." I have never been one to dream small, so why start now.. On ward half marathon..

My workout today, the circuit was done twice except for the BOSU Mountain Climbers.
15 lat pulls at 65lbs
15 step ups with high knee. each knee
30 BOSU MTN Climbers.
15 clean and press 10lbs
10-10 plank with tricep extension (Think plank position just shifting your weight so that you can reach your arm back towards the ceiling.  When Jessica showed me these I am sure my face was something like huh.  I have tried three arm planks before and always failed.. They weren't that big of an issue today.  I need to work on my form, but hey I was able to do it!)
15 star jumps. (Seriously, when you workout just leave a bunch of your dignity at the door.  You will look foolish and just plain crazy.  But you look this way only in your minds eye. To the rest of the world you are working it out!)
5 power walk laps

The rest of the week I am on my own when it comes to creating workouts.. Jessica did provide me with some extra items to help push my workouts to the next level..    But you will have to check back tomorrow to find out what goodies we have in store..
