Do people actually like running?????
After 2 days away from exercise I was able to get back with it today. I decided to finish the 2nd week of my interval walking program even though I should be starting week 3. Anyway, on this day I was to alternate 90 seconds of walking with 90 seconds of running from 4-4.5 mph. Last week I did the same thing but for only 60 seconds. Let’s just say that 90 seconds is definitely harder. By the 4th cycle I was dying but I made it through all 6. All the while I was thinking to myself that people actually choose to run b/c they want to!! Now that it’s done I feel good and very proud of myself but I don’t think I’m going to be one of those people out there pounding the pavement, even once I get in fantastic shape.
I don’t know what’s wrong w/me today but I’m a grouch. My older son and I went to the pool this afternoon and he was struggling to listen (to put it mildly) and now that we’re home I’m a grouch. I’m trying to do the whole mind over matter thing and will myself out of a bad mood but it’s not happening. Maybe I’m detoxing from all of the sugar over the weekend.
I think I’m going to do a July challenge w/myself. I’m not going to set a specific number of pounds and/or inches that I want to lose, but I am going to state that I need to workout at least 6 days a week. This month that will be very doable and it will help to keep me on track. Anyway, I’m going to weigh myself tomorrow and take measurements and then do it again at the end of the month. If I want to impress everyone when we return to school in August this is the month that I need to make things happen! I’m excited to see what I can accomplish.
Thanks for the comment! Yes i hope we can both do wonderful, how much weight have you lost, how long have you been dieting?
i like your July challenge with yourself. I think those are the best (and hardest!) but they are so meaningful when you do it!
Thank you for the comment earlier.
It makes me feel good to know that other people actually care.
So, I was just reading a few of your posts… You’re a teacher!
Me too… almost. I graduate with my bachelor’s in early childhood education in May. I can’t wait!
Thanks again for the comment. And I wish you the best of luck with your diet!
Your July challenge sounds good. My July challenge is to get back to three times of exercise a week and, hopefully, 5 pounds of weight loss. Keep up the good work!
