Actual Workout: JM30DS, Fat Burner walk @ 3.5 mph, and a little more weight lifting at the gym
Saturday morning, I was feeling good. I attempted to run 3 miles. A little over 2 miles in, I hurt my leg. More specifically, the side of my quad on my right leg. I tried walking for a while, then running again. It still hurt. Worse. I decided I could walk home. The more I walked, the more it hurt. I called Hubby about a quarter of a mile from home to pick me up. He was out mowing and didn't hear his phone. I started hobbling, but made it home.
I decided that I would take Sunday and Monday off from any running and not do anything at all workout wise on Sunday. Monday I did aqua jog, and I felt a little sore, but ok. Today I tried 30DS and I was timid. There were certain moves I just wouldn't do. By Thursday I hope to get a run in, even just a small one.
After this debacle, I took a looonng look in the mirror. Everyone has been commenting to me about how I am looking good and talking to me about how much weight I have lost. Since I started this blog I have lost almost 30 pounds. While this made me feel good and more confident, I started making decisions I shouldn't have last week. Have a doughnut and coffee for a mid afternoon snack 2 days in a row? Sure why not? Eat a 530 calorie pizza at 1130pm? As long as I run tomorrow.
Being a Law Enforcement Dispatcher, this sign rocks!
Anyway, back to the mirror. I caught a glimpse in the mirror and though, "Wow, I do look different. Why did I wait so long to do this?" Then I took a harder look and realized I may have come this far, but I am no where near the end. Usually, this is when I get discouraged and start telling myself I will never get there. Not this time. This time I told myself, "Ok, so we still have back rolls and a "belly flap". What can we do to work on this? I think I can feel this time being different.
