Today, Durkey, my husband,had to go to work early and I was not able to go to exercise. So I had to improvise...I got my shorts out and put my armband on and got on my treadmill. I wanted to walk/jog for 3 miles, I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but it is considering I don't like to do that. Running/walking is simply not my thing. I used to walk with friends, but that was more gossiping than walking. But, I have seen the results of running on several people and I want to do it. The ladies at the gym run 5K, and other marathons....I want to do that. But, I can't run for long. I get winded. Today, I alternated between walking a slow song and I sped up for a fast song. It was fun. I was really sweating.
But, back to why I can't run. Is it more mental than physical? Is it something I have convinced myself that I could not do and now I can't. Regardless, I am going to beat this one. I think I will continue on my off days to run...I will do 3 miles on Friday and Saturday. Then, on Sunday, I will move up to 6 next week. I am going to focus on time...under 30 minutes at 4.0 this week and then bump to 5.0 next week. I think it will work..I hope it will work.
Crossfit has a great plan for unlimited usage in 2010...I was planning to use a personal trainer, but I am wondering if I should continue with the ladies in the morning and then go to the gym to use the rowing machine or stationary bike before I pick up Micaiah. I am going to decide next week.
OH, wait....I didn't share my news....I lost 2 pounds since I stepped on the scale on Sunday. I have upped my water intake and am journaling my food intake. My little cheats really piss me off because they add up in my caloric intake. This morning I was running errands and grabbed McDonald's for MJ and that McD's breakfast added up...now I have to be extra careful about the rest of my calories today.
People have been reading the blog, because I am getting feedback. I am excited because I want to be an example to others. Micaiah says she has a desire to inspire....well I do too! I am working on my Personal Trainer Certification and hope to finish my exam by next Easter. Then, I will use the certification and my personal experience to help others. As a wife, mother, employee with supervisory obligations, and a chauffeur to my kids, I, like many of my family and friends, find little time for myself. That is why going to Crossfit is my time. But, I will not be able to do all I do if I am not healthy...so I have to find time to stay alive.
I will spend the rest of the day working on my PhD Dissertation proposal. I hope to plow through it today and proof it tomorrow to send to a colleague for review. It is my goal to get pass this life consuming hurdle to push on with my next life consuming hurdle....As I settle in, I hope everyone has a great day....
