...of totally owning it!
Barely made it to the gym on time today for my session. Ahh Panera! You suck my soul dry. But had a somewhat painful and difficult hour or some upper body work. Achilles still feeling tender, so that means taking it easy this week, and no running for the next few days. This makes me sadder than you can imagine. Running is it. Rats.
Today's success: Was actually in a better mood despite feeling so sad and letharigic yesterday (and all weekend...let's not lie to ourselves). Finished those damn inverted push ups. Inverted push ups! My feet were higher than my shoulders! Seriously so hard.
Today's Setbacks: My love of Wendy's chicken sandwiches. That's what I had for dinner. But I had to be at the car place all night, so there's that excuse, right?
I've also been thinking that I should try to take something more away with how crappy I've been feeling lately. I need a lesson. Today, I feel grateful that I have the desire and drive to still work hard. I might not be moving towards my end goals as fast as I want to be (cough cough...chicken sandwich), but I am certainly not giving up. I have the desire to kick your ass and rub your face in it! What can I say? I'm very competitive. I don't give up as easily as I used to. I need to remember to not give up on myself so much. What can I do to have a more long lasting positive outlook? Something to chew on.
Also, good news!! I might have a new running friend. A female friend! I never make female friends. Stay tuned. We shall see.
Courtney, don't feel bad, I cheated on my eating too! I had a pack of cheese crackers and a fifth avenue candy bar and I'm still debating if I want to end the night with a couple of nutter butter cookies or oreos. Ha ha, we'll work it off in our workouts by working extra hard!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to jog a few miles on the treadmill, like you, but for now, I do a mean speed walk!
Good luck with your jogger friend. Take care!

I haven't heard from my jogger friend yet. I hope our schedules match up, but we shall see. I think eating may be my biggest struggle right now. There is so much that I have really cut out of my diet long term, it's really over eating that is my problem.
