My Legs betrayed me
Had a great walk Friday. My husband was off, so he went out with me. He is doing so well, but of course he's a Gym fanatic. Hate him. :)
I couldn't believe how fast I was able to walk. I think my legs were trying to impress him.
Saturday morning, I was feeling good, so I rose early and went for my walk and at 8 am, Thank you very much! Ah, it was great. Came across a pack of joggers with great bodies. Waved hello and allowed the thought to enter my mind ... "hmm one day"'
NOT!!! I'm no runner. If I'm running, it's because someone's chasing me!
And then came Sunday .... rose early and proceeded to take my walk ... as I walked down the driveway and into the alley, I thought .. hmm I should warm up. Nah, I feel good.
Hah! about a block from home ... my feet felt like they were 3 x's their size, my calves were tight and felt like steel ... and I was screaming inside my head ... You should have warmed up, but even if I didn't, Legs ... you don't have to betray me like this! This is so wrong.
Oh well, after walking as far as I could without dying infront of somone's yard, I returned home. only a mile! and a very slow painful mile. Oh well, lesson learned. Warm Up and drink water before I go out.
Watched Kimora Lee's Fabulous Life this afternoon. She is so Awesome and looks Fabulous. I'm sure she works hard it. Okay Whatever!!
I'm amazed and afraid about my progress. I see myself reaching for better food choices and it's like an out of body of experience. Just a couple of months ago, I was completely Out of Control. Stopping by Dairy Queen almost everyday after work and buying a Large Ice Cream cone, and sometimes dipped. Eating out each and every day and ordering dessert - and eating ALL of IT. Eating a King Size Kit Kat from the vending machine and barley drinking water ... or shall I say, replaced water with Pepsi.
and with all of this change, I'm still only 8.5 pounds down, and that fluctuates from day to day. I should see a bigger difference. My clothes show change in the protrusion of my belly .. but my scale. Uggh!!
I'll do some research tonight online and see where I'm missing it.
