Jogging..... What?

[JustJenn 542]

So I started jogging last Thursday on the treadmill at the gym. I did good never thought that day would ever come when I could speed walk! Now I'm up to jogging. Today is attempt at day 3 jogging (gym schedule). I have the energy to do it and I'm doing it.

I just get this funky feeling like people are watching me. I look around a few times to see people behind me not paying attention to me and then I go! Lol can anyone relate? I still see the 389lb girl who should never run. And I couldn't get my target heart rate on elliptical anymore.

I'm also doing Zumba 3 times a week... Loving it! But I'm in the back of the room and self conscious about people seeing me. Lol. Ugh. I'm weird!

It takes time to stop feeling like the 'fat girl'. If you're able do everything you mentioned you must not be that girl anymore!

Those feelings will go away.

Maybe that feeling you have of being watched IS real. MAYBE they ARE sneaking peeks at you... and wondering if they can keep up! :-)

I wanna jog/run. I still have the dream. I'm going to try to get started, we all start from somewhere. Don't feel weird your in the gym working on it and that deserves RESPECT!
