Well, today I feel all wobbly and weak but I am pretty sure that has more to do with the workout I did last night than anything else. My poor old dog injured her foot so instead of walking her I went for a run; I did Couch25k. It was ridiculously hard! I have always found running to be really hard no matter how fit I am otherwise. Even when I can do an hour on the elliptical doing intervals and can leg press 200 pounds, I still have a hard time with running. My body hates the impact (big boobs) and I just feel weak. I think my Thalassemia (a form of anemia) probably hinders my blood oxygenation at high demand times like running, which doesn't help.

All night long I felt my body giving off a lot of heat, which it only does when I have had a seriously fat-burning workout. Today I feel all weak and wobbly but I can't tell if that's a result of the fact that yesterday I did an Atkins fat fast or the fact that I did Couch25K. Probably a bit of both. I don't have a fever. My blood ketones are 1.9 (optimal) and my glucose is 85 (perfect).

Anyway, I did it!:carrot: And I plan to do it again tomorrow.

shr1nk1ngme - I'm sure you already know this, but a really good bra makes a HUGE difference. I'm normally a 32G and never thought I could do anything high-impact until I got a nice Wacoal sports bra. Expensive, but seriously life-changing.

Note: Joy, I will not be reporting to this tread next month and I am not sure about April. I am involved in both a group step challenge (which our Team Wonder Woman is leading) as well as some individual challenges as well so all of this reporting is a job in itself. However, I have enjoyed being a part of this group and I just want to say to everyone "Keep Up The Great Work!":carrot:
