Skipping the Gym Today

It is Halloween today, and I had to "work" at the Sub's Halloween party all afternoon, so I decided to skip working out today. Which means NO CANDY for me! I did manage to skip all the doughnuts at the party. Yea me! I was hungry too.

Funny story for the day: I love to weigh myself 1st thing in the morning, then go to the bathroom and see how much I lost. hehe. Well, today it was 4lbs! yea, my scale is not so reliable/consistent.

Day 2 of the Resumed Regime

Went to the gym again today. I ran on the treadmill today (using my replacement ipod - Blue Velvet - since I lost poor Purple Pal a month or so ago.) and I did pretty good. I ran for a total of 37 mins: Walked at my usual 3.5 for 5 mins as a warm-up, then ran at 5.2 for 3 mins (I could have gone longer; I was completely amazed that I was not very tired!) and walked for 1.5 mins, then ran for 2.5 mins, walked for 2, ran 2 etc. until the last 7ish minutes when I changed things up and ran at 6.5 for a minute, walked for 2 minutes, ran @6.5 for another minute, then walked the last 5 minutes on a 4.0 incline at 3.8.

I know I know, a lot of detail here ... but I feel the need to be accountable for my workout right now. As I'm inclined to blow them off! In total I ran 2.75ish miles today. Well, walked/ran combo. And all my 2 minute runs were fairly easy. I guess next week I'll have to up my run times to 2.5 mins, or 3 mins. Hmmmmmm

Grope, Grasp, Fumbling

I need to find that motivation I had last year. I was so strongly motivated to stay on tract with both my diet and exercise. I know I can run now. (I don't love it, but I love that I can do it) I just need to find that something and grab on to it again.
