I promised to share my success and not so much successes with you all because real people training to do a hard thing don't have a great go of it 100% of the time. So here's one of those no so successes.
I've been told that when you are training and learning how to run correctly you have good days and bad days and man, this has been a bad week! I've had almost no motivation and when I have dragged myself into the basement to do my workout, its not been good. Knee pain, ankle pain, just general sluggishness. Boo. My logical head knows that this is just part of teaching your body to do something it's totally not used to doing but it here isn't fun. In fact it's quite unmotivational... I don't think that's a word...... Oh well you get the point. So I took the night off and worked on a bunch of house changes that are in process, which made me happy.
Weight Watchers is going OK, I'm still trying to put together a good list of things that taste yummy but aren't 1000 points but we're getting there. I think that with grilling season (HOPEFULLY) coming soon it will help. Give me grilled pineapple for a dessert any day and I'm a happy girl! I know a lot of people that have had great success with WW so I'm hoping that I will be one of those people that will if I stick with it!
So I think I'm done with my most recent pity party. It was nice while it lasted but I'm ready to move on :) Even though my lovely MB might have shared her daycare cold with me. Wasn't that just wonderful of her? It's a good thing she's cute, that's all I'm saying. The plan to rectify this latest slight setback is to just redo this week in training, get myself back up to speed and move on. I/we can do this people! 13.1 miles isn't that long.....right? RIGHT!
And the journey continues!
Perfect attitude! You will get there! And the weather will soon be nice enough so that you can get outside and exercise, which let's be honest, is way nicer than being cooped up in the basement.
ReplyDeleteI'm to chicken to run outside yet. :) We have some serious runners in the neighborhood so I'm going to exile myself to the basement until I get a little more confident in my skills.
