Still Juicing
I don't really like to say that i'm 'juicing'. But I have been juicing a lot more lately. I def think it has given me more energy and endurance. Last night I went to the gym and noticed that my lower back was hurting as soon as I got there. Maybe it was a pain making its way to my ass. hahhaha my cousin had sent me a text just minutes before that was so negative and uninspiring. But I didn't have time to counsel her, I was on a mission.
I went ahead and got on the treadmill anyway, tried to blast my music and go. Needless to say the pain was still radiating. I wondered what it could be as I hadn't had any sodas recently. I started to think that it was the need for a really good bowel movement. After nearly fifteen minutes and a very slow half mile later, I stopped the machine.
I almost wanted to leave but made my way to the bike. I did a bending stretch to touch my toes and this made my back feel pretty good. The bike and me seemed to gel. I got in 6 miles and hit the pause button. Six and a half miles wouldn't be so bad for today, I thought. I kept switching to my high energy songs on the MP3 player, and next thing you know I was at 8 miles! Something or someone in my mind kept saying, 'do 15, do 15'. I had never done 15 miles in one gym session ever. I took about 2 more breaks and look out! I was at 15 miles! I kicked myself into overdrive and did 16.50 miles! Thats when I stopped, I sat there, sweaty, shaking my head. Dammit, I got in 17miles! SEVENTEEN MILES!
I took the elevator to the next floor because my legs were shaky. Theres no way a shaky leg staircase fall was going to ruin my gym high! There was a plus size older lady on the going down too. She told me that she had went down several sizes. We both spoke of our victories. I was on top of a mountain!
So here I am the next morning, legs slightly achy but def movable. I don't know why we think we can see immediate differences. I woke up and went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I don't know what it is, even though I only lost 6 pounds I feel so much lighter. Now if I can get this bloating to disappear.
