Aug 01 2008 10:28I am too scared to weigh myself today, I am afraid of what the number will say! I just feel sort of heavy. Anyway....I should probably do it tomorrow, hopefully that will influence me to eat healthily tonight.
EXERCISE: I had planned on running at the gym, then doing bodypump, then coming home for a healthy meal. What did I do instead? Well....I drove to the gym, got out my gym bag and noticed my shoes were not in there. OK. Saw a shoe in the trunk. All right! Well, only one shoe. So, I left, cause how am I going to run in my cute Audrey Hepburn-like flats? So I decide I will just run outside at home, about 4 miles and be done with it. It was about 90*, humidity just over the top...probably over 100%. Starting running. I felt like I was going in slow motion, my shorts were uncomfortable, my calfs felt tight, the list goes on. I only ended up running about 12 minutes and was so mad at myself. I walked the rest of the way home....so I was outside "working out" for about 33 minutes. But still. I was pissed. Tuesday running 30 minutes was no problem. But most runners have off days. I am attributing it to that, plus the weather and shorts that were pissing me off. Today I am running in the gym, hands down. Record breaking highs this weekend, so they say.
Usually when I take a day off of running (usually for the same reason as you! its too hot!!!) I run a lot better the next day. I take it as, that was my body telling me to take a day off! |
No worries homegirl! Just weigh yourself after you get to your running. I think that might just be the best motivator. When I used to run I'd think---Must keep running so the number agrees with me---over and over. |
