Alright, yesterday saw me doing my strength workout and then going out with a friend to walk/jog. That didn't go as well as usual. I generaly do that routine in the early morning hours, and doing it in the heat and humidity (20 degree difference!) of the afternoon about knocked me over.
I only did three of my 8 bouts of running, and cramped so badly that we had to stop and sit while I made sad pathetic noises. Still, it was a workout, and I stretched very, very well. This morning I feel right as rain.
Today is my usual day to go out and practice being a runner. Fake it until you make it, right? Fake it by jogging all gentle like, whatever it takes! I think I am gonna do the elliptical instead though. No heat, no humidity, no shin splints. Recover from my ordeal, yes? Sure!
I overate a wee bit yesterday. Had a couple of crabcakes that I made for my room mate. It tipped me a little high on the net carb scale, but nothing outrageous. It also showed me how truly dumb it is to hover over temptation during the first three days. Today that problem is solved. I have a low carb dinner becoming delicious in the slow cooker, a low carb lunch set out just waiting already, and a low carb and delightfully filling breakfast in my belly.
All I need now is the motivation to get on the elliptical. Go girl go!
Addition: So I did hop on the elliptical and put in a good 30 minutes. Whew. Of course, I was feeling all kinds of desperate for sweets, so I decided to indulge in a couple of crab cakes. How bad can crab cakes be?
20 carbs?!? Are you kidding me?!? And that is what I get for looking up the facts after the damage is already done
Worse, I had three of them last night and I had to go back and account for them and hang my head in shame. I didn't hang my head too terribly long though, as these are the things that happen. I indulged last night, that led to cravings and sluggishness today. Tomorrow, I will keep that in mind, as I work through the cravings without caving in.

I woke up feeling rather good today. Energetic enough to get right into my strength training. Later today I will be walk/jogging with a friend as well. Nothing like peer pressure to get me going.
Yesterday I did really well, sticking to my eating plan and not binge. That is a real issue with me, eating disorder not otherwise specified and all, binge eating. I didn't get hungry at all, though I did wake up in the middle of the night starving. I downed a glass of water and went back to sleep.
I have been doing this couch to 5K program. By 'doing', I mean that every week I start it, and most weeks I get the second day done as well. Thus far, no week has seen me out jogging on that third day. I end up aching all over and wimping out. Every week, though, I start again. I think I have started Week One four times. I don't care, I am doing.
It's starting to show, too. Each new Week One is bit easier. I am a big lady here, but I find myself almost able to jog the entire 60 seconds. I wanna be a runner, so I am going to be keeping this up, even if it takes me a year to complete the nine week program!
I did not realize exactly how effective it has been until I nearly cut myself shaving my legs. Where did that definition come from? That wasn't there before! I have these little hollows running down my calves now, and they look very sporty!
Suspicious, I gave my jiggly arms a wee poke and...well I'll be! There is a baby muscle in there! No wonder the wall-pushups were getting easier, and I hadn't even thought about it when I bought heavier weights. I just thought that my usual ones were...what? Getting lighter? Gah! Next thing you know, I will be sleek and hard core and confused as to how I got there. That's a great problem to have!
The beginners workout I got from about.com seemed so hard three weeks ago, and this morning I still sweat buckets, but I pushuped and squatted and lunged and lifted with the comfort of familiarity.
There was a moment where I got dizzy and had to sit down, but I suspect that has something to do with me being too eager to workout and skipping both breakfast and some water prior to huffing it on the elliptical. A few moments to drink my shake, have a glass of water, and sit, then I was right as rain.
What do you think? Am I gonna be an athlete before I know it?
