Already slacked off! I also messed up my momentum for NaNoWriMo. Lately, I've had headaches again, but even if I can't do intense exercises I could've walked or biked. I need to stop accepting my own excuses.
I keep accepting my own excuses too. "I'm sick so I need to rest," or "I "insert chore" today so that must be good." But the fact is that I like sitting on my a**. That's why I'm hoping that starting a workout vid that I'll do in the morning will help. That way if I do wind up sitting on my a** most of the day, at least I did SOMETHING.

Ever notice that when you plan to do a morning workout that your pillow gets extra soft and your blankets extra comfortable? Your dreams become warm and wonderful?
quite frenkly I experienced the opposite! as soon as I started achieving my goal, saw some good results and overcame soreness I started to enjoy exercise. I've realised that if I exercise I dont have to psyche myself with what I eat or feel bad about every biscuit I take, because I burn a lot of calories. Eventually it became fun and motivating as well as eating became less frustrating!
And I do my exercise in the morning, too!

Lol, I felt that way this morning because I thought my dental appointment was today. I managed my exercise today, and it wasn't as bad as I expected. Once I get started, I'm okay. So my focus these coming weeks is to push myself into starting. It's a habit I really need to develop for myself.
I totally felt that this morning, lol. I didn't want to do much of anything, not really a particular reason for it, just a lil sluggish. Fortunately I did manage to drag myself from the couch and go to my exercise class and my regular school classes. I think it was the best decision though, I'm tired but I'll make it.
Having a terrible day! But at least I can now have a signature and post pictures. I posted my before picture. I don't quite know how to link yet so to see my picture I'm at the very top of page 2. You know, the colorful one!
I've had a massive stall with exercise, I've been sick (coughing loads and since I've got asthma it's really draining me!) so I've not been as willing to jump around and get out of breath since I might not be able to breathe! I've not gained any weight which is fine by me, I'm ok with stalling! Hopefully when I feel better I can start my round 2 of Insanity and really be on it.
Riestrella- I'm in a similar boat. I've been really sick too. It's just been one thing after another and there is no rhyme or reason as to why I'm sick. Started out Tuesday evening when I went to the ER for a racing heart and nausea. Then on Wednesday it was more just nausea and vomiting. Yesterday I woke up feeling crappy but started to feel better as the day went on but towards late afternoon I started feeling rather icky. Now I woke up in a lot of pain. I may go back to the doctor and see whats up.
Riestrella- I guess its just a stomach bug and all I need is rest and fluids. I tend to turn into a melodramatic baby when I'm sick but its because I hate resting and laying in bed all day so I keep myself going which only wears me out more.
mhill - I did the Living History Farms race in Des Moines, IA. 7500 runners running through cornfields, creeks and forests and climbing up cliffs. Fun stuff! My goal was to finish in under 2 hours, and I finished in 1:47 and smack in the middle of the pack. The winning guy finished in 38 minutes! The groin injury I had is gone now, so I'm left with just blistered feet and some stiff calfs. I'm taking two days off for rest, but I'm still staying active by "power cleaning" the house.
Even though I've been workingout somewhat regularly, I haven't been eating well and I haven't weighed myself since in 3 weeks. I'm scared of the damage! :/ I'm going to weigh in tomorrow though and face the music.
Hope you're beginning to feel better, Ri and LovelyLeah!
