Rough workout last night. Things have been going pretty well, and I'm going to guess it's because they've been going well that I just didn't seem to have the oomph to put into it. Originally the plan was to take tonight off as I could feel myself getting a little tired - and I considered changing that beacuse of the short show I put on last night, but I think I can still feel some fatigue. I'll get back on it tomorrow.
I am feeling better, at least slightly less chubby. I bought a few new workout tops from Old Navy recently (they're bright and colorful and if I'm going to abuse them, might as well not spend too much on them. So far though, I'm even impressed with their fit and movement when I workout). The first night I wore one of these I was lifting and watching myself in the mirror and felt very hippo-like. Not good! My friend hit me for that thought, and she was right to do so. It's gotten a little better since then, but I'm still feeling very much the "hip" part of the hippo.
Bad thoughts bad thoughts. I know (from past experience) if I keep up my running things will feel much better. So. After tonight's break, tomorrow night I will keep up my running. I'm hoping to be ready for a 10k at the end of May, but that feels awfully close. We'll see.
I've asked a friend if she wants to find some MMA or cross fit classes with me. Not sure what we want is at all close to where we live, so I think we're going to try to do the 5280fit.com spring challenge. Hopefully will be fun. They take all sorts of measurements at the beginning of the 8 week challenge and then again at the end. Noooooot so excited about that, but will come through it just fine :)
Still talking to the online guy. Honestly? There's a lot of motivation for me coming from a potential visit from him (in July) - and I'm going to take that and run (literally :P). I think I'm coming to this place where, if we continue to talk and he does visit in July, then after that visit (assuming we don't fall madly in love) it will have to end. If we do continue to talk and he never plans a visit, well - then it'll end sooner. But honestly, right now, it's more attention than I've been getting recently and I enjoy talking to him. The time zone thing sucks, but it kinda fits into my already busy schedule. Maybe I'll take this opportunity of flirting with a charming British Bloke to build some of my self confidence. He's now a facebook friend and can see all those pics, the good, the bad, and the ugly - and he hasn't shunned me, and silly as it sounds, that's already helped me some.
We'll see how it goes. I'm guessing now that I think I want this to continue, it probably won't :P but if that's what happens, then that's what happens and I'll be okay with it.
