Last night, I got a HUGE blister from walking part of the way home. I really need to start carrying some proper shoes in my purse at all times.
Regardless of the pain, I did work out for 45minutes anyway.
Even aside from the blister, I still wasn't ready to run yesterday. I've been walking by the track at various times trying to find a time of day when there aren't too many people there, but it seems that this track site is extremely popular.
Maybe I'll need to get up at around 4:30 and give it a go. However, that leads to a whole new problem.... skunks. I hate skunks and we have a ton of them around our place and they're always out in the wee hours of the morning. I really don't want to disturb them and make them angry.
Oh well, maybe soon I'll stop making all of these excuses and just run.
Weigh in is later tonight. Hope I'm still in Onderland!!! I wore capris today in the hopes that less fabric equals less weight on the scale. My fingers are crossed.
I think we all have our WI rituals. I wear the EXACT same thing every Wednesday for that reason. No earrings, just my wedding ring. I do wear jeans, but that's because I wear jeans every day. It's consistent and that's what counts. Good luck at WI. I'm sure you're still in onederland. Please save me a spot!
Listen....I will tell you the same thing I told Tatumsmom....
Stop caring about what people think about you and get your butt out there and RUN. Look, this is about your life...your health. I used to go into the GYM when I was 220. Yes. The gym. Where all the skinny pretty people go?? And I did spin class. And I died through it....but I loved it.
The other thing about it is, no one is actually watching you and caring. It is something that you are battling in your mind....it is not real. So get the running shoes on (once that blister is healed) and get the C25K in hand and listen to Nike. Just do it. You will not believe how fast the remaining weight will come off. Seriously. You have to trust me on this. Would I steer you wrong????? :)
Do it for your health. And stop worrying about what other people think. They don't matter in your life. Just let it go.....
I hope you are okay with my bluntness but sometimes people need a swift kick in the arse...and so I am doing that gently and with a lot of love, okay????
I just have to say this -- the idea of having lots of skunks roaming around outside is fascinating! I want a skunk! (But not the stink, ack) We don't have them here... *sniff*
