Favoring Odds.

"May the odds be ever in your favor!" - Effie Trinket: Hunger Games. 

You know I saw this shirt that I really want and it says "Train like you've been picked for the hunger games." I want it so bad but it's a skinny shirt...made for skinny girls. I hate that. Out of all the people that need to work out, you design clothes for the fit ones. Maybe I want a really cool motivational t-shirt!! The odds are certainly not in my favor. I know that they certainly were not in my favor when it came to the genetic pool for my sister and I. My sister (who is two years older than me) has the metabolism of a cheetah, that works out three times a day and eats nothing but protein and vegetables. While I'm 300 pounds of 60 some percent of fat, gets light headed when she runs and eats the nutrition of a garbage disposal. 

But the thing is, it is possible to win in a losing situation. You can still when you are 20 points down. You can still pass a class even when you have a F right now. Even though I'm 300 pounds, borderline diabetic, suffering for a lot of physical restrictions I can still turn this around for me. I can be like Katniss Everdeen and make the odds be in my favor. I am going to train hard, like I've been picked for the Hunger Games. 

Yesterday was a good day for me. I was able to walk four miles (to and from the grocery store) and I felt great. If the ground wasn't uneven and I wasn't carrying a package I would have jogged it. I felt empowered, I felt unstoppable, my legs however, felt other wise. Like I had just done squats for two hours. I would do it again though. I need to get back in my routine of jogging now that I have the shoes for it. Let's get back out there and let's do it!! Let's for the odds to be in our favor!!
