It seems like lately I have been really struggling to keep myself moving. A lot of that has to do with major stress and a 15 lb weight gain.
I have been wondering why it is so hard for me to get out and run lately then one day I was listening to the radio or watching (listening) to the TV and they talked about how they went to a park and handed out 10 lb bags and had people carry them around. Then told them that is what it is like when you carry and extra 10 lbs of weight. LIGHTBULB! I have put on 15 lbs!!! AGH no wonder it is so hard. I stepped on the scale last night.... why would I step on it at night? WTH!!!! I should NOT have done that. I almost cried. I got up this morning, I was soo tired I decided to go back to bed. I fought off my inner runner and climbed in bed. then I thought about our PTO meeting tomorrow and decided to work on stuff for that. an hour and a half later and Sadie asked if I would make her poached eggs it sounded good so I made me ONE and a piece of toast and a grapefruit. I decided to log my food I hate logging food but I gotta lose these pounds. I downloaded a diary on my phone and it had an exercise input so I decided I would indeed go for a run. I did, I ran, I pushed it hard! I was a little sore from yesterdays kickboxing class and my knee hurt (new shoes are in my future). guess what it felt GREAT!!! I made a goal to loose 15 pounds by Oct 15-I am hoping to go to Tuscon that weekend to watch my oldest son play Goalball . I know I can do this! I have to. I want to be an active happy person!!
