I went through a really tough week of getting only two or three workouts in because I had niether the time nor the energy to get anything more done. Then I finally dragged my butt into the gym on Thursday (I think?) and suffering through an eighteen minute run. It was only eighteen minutes (Day 3-2 of C25k, specifically) but it was terrible. However, I was proud of myself for getting back into the gym and winning the mental battle for myself on that one. Last night (Sunday) I went back into the gym and had an excellent 30 minute run. I was about dead by the end of it and was definitely ready to be done, but it felt good.
Tonight I was back at boot camp after I missed on Friday for coaching, but it was good to be back. I feel like I am finally making the switch in mindset to where I look forward to working out again. I was sore for about two and a half weeks straight, but my body has finally adjusted. Things are still far from easy and I honestly haven't seen the numbers move on the scale yet, but that's okay. Actually, the whole scale deal is a little discouraging, but I know my diet has been far from the best lately and I haven't been drinking enough water.
This week I want to be more conscious of what I choose to eat and that will not be the easiest because I have three away games this week. However, I have to start somewhere.
My goal is to run a full 3.1 miles with no walk breaks on January 31. I'm not worried about time or pace right now... I just want to make the mileage mark. I think I will be able to make it through those miles in the next 11 days and I'm looking forward to pushing myself to make the mark!
You can do it! We still need to do an accountability FaceTime at the gym...I haven't been in ages.
