Before After

talk about a lead anchor.

so today was my train-run day at the gym, i did my run for 13 minutes (out of 20). then my legs started to feel really, really heavy- like they were made of lead.  i had to stop running, i couldnt believe that i had to stop, but i did.  it was like trying to run with my feet in blocks of cement!  i am blaming it on working out too hard this close to my race and my body is just sore and telling me to slow down, right?

maybe i should get a trainer.  but who can afford one right now!?  i think i am doing fine... i over-research everything, and my research tells me that i am just sore and to take it easy today and tomorrow. 

so, today's workout was:

Stationary Bike: 35 min, 12.6 miles, 164 calories.

C25K Training: (Workout 2 Day 2) 13 min, 1 mile, 112 calories.

not too bad, but noticealby shorter than my usual workout... hopefully this muscle development happens soon so i can get back to my workouts!

my eating has still been, so-so.  i will do really well until the end of the day- then tank it.  or i will start off terrible! but finish the day strong.  now it is more healthy than unhealthy, so the scale is tipping in my favor.

speaking of scales- i still have not weighed in.  i have decided to stick to my decision to not know where i stand until monday.  if i dwell on a number too much it could mess up a lot of progress i have made towards healthy, not just thin.

later ladies.

You're doing GREAT!

The key is that you've gone to the gym and given the best effort you could for that day!  Don't be so hard on yourself!  You are encouragement to me and others who stop by this blog, I'm sure!

I think weighing in once a week or even once every two weeks is a great idea....it's sooo disappointing when you've worked your tushie off only to step on the scale and not see it move.

Yup

That's exactly it!  Healthy rather than thin.  And with all the exercise and care you're taking, you are on that path.

You're right

Don't weight in.. How does your body feel?  Rest Rest rest it's very important especially when trying to train this quickly.  I have a question for you?  After you go to the gym, do you eat anything with protein in it?  Protein helps build muscle.  Muscle in turn helps burn fat.  I have something called Whey protein.  It's vanilla flavored and I put 1 scoop in with milk or water, or you can make yourself a nice shake, and drink it after the gym.  The protein in it helps turn what muscles you were working out into stronger muscles.  Just a thought.  Since you like to research so much look into that.
