Found my sweet spot tonight running. Finally after 6 weeks of running 2-3 x a week I found it. Been years since I've been there. I found it 5.3 miles per hour 11:11 minute mile. I've added a 20 lb weight vest for the first 20 minutes then I take it off walk for a minute and then head back for a 10 minute straight run. It was great to be there. It was great to feel good again.
I also joined Weight Watchers again and while I've only lost 3 lbs I am being more conscious and responsible for my choices. The 20 lbs remind me of what I was like when I was pregnant. I lost that much and now I'm looking to loose another 15-20. I did it once and can do it again. I imagine not carrying around that much extra and I think of my body not holding that much and I am so grateful that has carried me this far.
It also makes me wonder how much mental weight I am carrying around. I need to unload it more often. I need to feel confident in myself that I don't need to carry around other people's opinion anymore. I need to let go of the worry and hold on more to the love and joy.
Now to work on finding my mental and spiritual sweet spot as hard as I've worked on finding my physical sweet spot.
