Your body. It’s all in your mind.

I went running tonight about 6:30.

The temperature was 100.

I decided to go ahead and get out there no matter how warm.

When I got home, it had plummeted one degree.

Yesterday, I was working out with my trainer, Beverly Morris. As I was stretching out at the end, our local Biggest Loser, Johnnie Franklin, was working out.

After a profile about Franklin in the local paper, he joked that he can’t walk down the street without someone stopping him.

Already down 95 pounds, he plans on losing another 150 pounds. He talked about how tough it is but that he can do it sticking to eating right — and exercising day by day. Even if it is something small.

Beverly, who has worked with Franklin, agreed.

“People don’t realize the most important part in weight loss is not the condition of the body but the condition of the mind.”

That stuck with me.

So what if it’s 100 degrees. I’m in pretty good shape, if I take it slow, I should be fine.

Whether it’s meeting my friend in my driveway tomorrow morning at 6:25 for a ride to the pool or lacing up those running shoes, getting started is often the biggest hurdle.

Mind over wanting to sleep in.

Mind over thinking it’s too hot.

Mind over those chocolate chip cookies cooling on the counter.

What do you think? What was you latest mind over body experience?
