proactive mental reprogramming

During my last 40 minute run (5mph)/walk(3mph) of the day I realized what I am doing and why I am doing it. Instead of thinking about "needing to workout" and "needing to lose weight" and then not doing anything, I am challenging & committing myself to getting on the treadmill everytime I think about losing weight. I am re-programming my mind to be proactive instead of apathetic and nostalgic, reminiscing on a time when I did get back in shape after pregnancy, "back when I lost 80 pounds and fit into whatever size jeans". This is just a small plateau that I have to plow through and it is exciting to think what is at the end of this tunnel.
