Today's workout was amazing! I set a new standard for myself that I'm a little nervous to keep. I got to sleep in today and not be at work until 11, which meant at typical run time (11:30-12) I was ready to go. I did my normal thing: brisk walk to the trail and for halfish, then jogged the second half, turn around and walk for a bit, then jog the second half again. It was about seventy degrees by then, and I was lovin the sunshine. I felt great and couldn't even finish my huge salad! After lunch and nap, I decided that this weather is just too good to pass up! So out we went again. I thought I'd change it up and run the first part this time around; but as I was coming to the part I mark as half, I thought,
"screw that! I'm going all the way!" And then I did. The whole half a mile it takes from where we get on to Cook Riolo. It was awesome! I turned around and tried to jog a few different times, but couldn't make myself go a huge stretch (something about feeling nauseous).
There are two bonuses to my double run today.
1. I got tan!! Not even kidding. There is definite color on my arms that hasn't been there since I came to Cali in May last year.
2. Every time we got back to the house, baby's snot fountain seemed to dry up for a while.
I'm worried I won't be able to give myself motivation to do it again and get better.
But tonight I made cold lentil salad lentil wraps. Delish! And oh so healthy.
I would love to partner with you, sorta, on this fitness "kick" for lack of a better word.
ReplyDeleteI also recently decided I want to do the belly fat cure. it's not a diet, so he says, it's a lifestyle. it's about cutting way back on your sugar intake, which goes straight to the midsection. So basically, you only consume 15 grams of sugar a day, and 6 servings of carbs. I ordered it from the library days ago, and it just came in. The books is great, and is mostly recipes on how to make your fave foods with lower sugar items. Check it out. Think about it. It's always best to have a partner in these things. Let me know if you wanna partner in the food thing. But I def want to start doing more exercising, and have been mulling over a gym membership......
You didn't get back to me about this....and so here I am, consuming sugar like there ain't no tomorrow. I mean, if there's no tomorrow, I don't want all that sugar to go to waste. I'm doing it a favor. And that ice cream was on clearance. I HAD to buy it.
