Yesterday i was sick so.. .i did nothing.. i probably ate more comfort food than necessary but i dont care- cuz i was sick *LOL*
Today i ran 5.2 miles.... (grand total 37.64)
The workout is backwards now- now the warm-up HURTS the cool-down is also kinda hurty and the elliptical is the part of the workout i look forward to- which is weird since thats where im going fastest- also where i am gaining ground millage wise.
Tomorrow i'll probably be lifting weights (depends on the hubby)
i can feel the muscles in my calves moving pretty much all the time now, and im starting to feel my thighs tighten when i run... sweetness....
Today i Broke five miles YAY!! I ran 5.17 miles in approximately an hour. (grand total of 32.43 miles) I am extraordinarily surprised at this because after the first 5 minutes my legs were already screaming and THEN my MP3 player just up and died on me.
Once i got off the treadmill and on the Elliptical all the horrid pain in my calves died (thank the gods for low impact running) and i was able go apparently go faster than i had been going, not much faster but enough to give me a little extra in my workout.
Weighed in at 211 today- i was bummed at first but i figure between weight lifting and running i probably have added some muscle in somewhere and muscle does weigh more than fat, also- i was a _very_ naughty lala this weekend because we went to north Platte to shop and go out for dinner and i indulged myself a bit. Really i cant expect to lose it all at once... but that does put me 21 pounds away from my first goal weight still and that is kind of a bummer. Ah well... it's the working out that is important. If i can be in shape i wont worry so much about my weight- or something. I really outta measure my body so i can compare measurements to weights and see if im losing any inches (which in MHO is WAY more important than weight - as it is clothes that has been my motivation thus far)
So on Saturday i took the day off (might as well call that a normal thing) I was SOOO SORE from lifting weights.. not in my legs mind you but in my arms and shoulders like nobody's business.
Today I ran 4.73 miles which leaves a grand total of 27.26 miles so far (i'm looking to hit a hundred i think)
I'm encouraged by the fact that I've already lost some weight, it makes me want to eat better and it makes me SERIOUSLY reconsider anytime i just want to mow down on junk food. I even bought healthy snacks when i went shopping instead of my normal empty calorie binge-type snacks.... i think that besides when im PMS'ing that shoudl be jsut fine.
Today, i ran 4.72 miles- for a grand total of 20.96 miles since i started working out.
and really i think at some point im going to hit a peak.. like SOON... i cant beat out yesterdays run every day indefinatly... and if i could.. WOW i dont think i'd want to...
as it is... the hill simulation is SERIOUSLY Evil.. even if i wasnt begging the gods to let me get through the workout today. Also, i've heard this vauge rumor that people actually can get high from workout endorphins from pushing themselves hard enough and for the moment i am labeling that bullshit. I feel vaugly better during cooldown, but i assume that's because i am no longer running fast or up hills but rather slowing down so my muscles dont threaten to kill me later.
I was SO not going to go workout today, but then hubby took me out for lunch and i thought- damn now i must go pay for the zillion calories involved in a large coke (i was a good girl and had a manderin chicken salad which was still awesome, but relitivly low cal)
Another strange thing i've noticed is that my apptite has went WAY down, not like an unhealthy amount, it just seems when i work out im less hungry... i think that is really weird.
Anyways, i have noticed people are actually reading my workout notes and that makes me slightly surprized, i hope i'm not boring you to death- and thanks for reading ;-) mystic
I started working out again last wed.. 15 minute warmup on the treadmill- 30 minutes on the evil eliptical machine then another 15 minutes on the treadmill to cool down (sometimes it streaches to 16-17 minutes)
Wed. 3.75 miles
Friday 3.9 miles
Today 3.97 miles
Apparently I cannot hit four miles *LOL* no matter how hard i try.... but we'll see tomorrow as long as i can motivate to get my ass in there. I REALLY didn't want to go today- i was tired *LOL* but i got there and really paid for missing two days in a row- about halfway through i was praying to any god that would listen to help just finish the 1hour workout rather than working on mileage.... I suppose when i actually hit 4 miles- then I'll have to shoot for something new *LOL*
I have also learned that my knee high socks help me keep my calve muscles warm and they dont get NEARLY as sore after the workout... that is awesome
I weighed myself before today's workout and I've lost 2 pounds WHOOT
and after all that running the thought of a soda kinda makes me feel nauseous so .. I'll probably be drinking LOTS more water too :-D
I weight 212 now- and i weighed 214 last week.... So my "goal weight?" well the first goal weight is 190... i figure i should focus on 20 lbs at a time right..
Ultamatly i'd like to get down to 150 and a size 12- beacuse i have a box of "cute clothes" that i've saved from before i started taking antidepresants. soo really i want to lose like 60 effing pounds.. Jiminy Crickets kids!!
I lie there, curled up in the center of your eye every breath a memory. I listen, to the painstaking silence as it echos the words we will never say to one another. I live in the slow fall of your teardrops sliding down your face the curve of your breast shattering across your scars. I smell you a thousand miles away I taste you in the corner of my lips.
You're steady heartbeat reminds me that I am alive.
