Workout

6:20 AM:  I arrive at the park and take note that the sun has not even shone it’s first ray of light yet.  It’s dark.  There is enough light that I can see the path so I begin warm up anyway.  I walk/stretch for 5 mins then run for 25 non-stop…and I didn’t avoid any hills this time.  I take note that the only people at the park this early in the morning are men.  Weird… Where are all the working out women? Most the men stay on the back trail which is much more hilly then the trail I run.  It’s flat with one major hill.  I guess I am the only woman around brave enough to  work out with all those men around in the dark.  By now, their presence is known to me, and I feel comforted knowing they are around somewhere.

9:00 pm Denise Austin warm up- 5 mins/ Arms and core-15 mins/ butt and core- 15 mins

Here I must say that now when DA gives us options to take it to the next level…I am doing just that, especially with the ab work.  It amazes me how when I first started tat I could hardly hold in my stomach and now while crunching on the ball I hold my weight out straight armed above my head and lean way back off the ball.  I’ve come a long way even if others aren’t noticing too much yet.

Total workout time: 65 mins

Workout goal for September: 1260/286 done/974 to go!

I don’t know why but I wish someone would notice I’ve lost weight besides people who know I have been trying.  No one else has said a word and I really would like some confirmation that I am smaller.  I know it’s shallow.  I shouldn’t need another person’s approval or attention, I am doing this for me after all… But it would be nice if one person said “Hey Mel, You look like you have lost weight.”   Yeah, that would be real nice.

I don’t know what is going on with the Friday’s around here, but lately they have really sucked!  There was alot of drama at work today, and then BF was an @$$ again.  I still have tons of homework and tons of things to do for work.  I didn’t do anything since I have been home from work.  Oh well, There is always tomorrow!

Tomorrow I have soccer practice.  I coach DS3’s team.  DS2 has practice at the same time so we will be at the park for 2 hours.  I figured after my practice is over I can walk the trail with DS3.  Get my workout in! 

Food today was terrible.  I really blew it.  It was the stress that got me.  Just couldn’t handle what was going on and my friend food was there to comfort.  Damn it!  When am I ever gonna learn?
