I had every intention of getting up at 5am again this morning and getting in my 3 miles. When the alarm went off, I knew that wasn't happening. It was COLD outside. I'm talking in the high 30's in Alabama in late April... what is going on? My bed was entirely too comfortable and too warm for me to do something crazy like give up an additional hour of sleep.
I ran around my work campus at lunch. I thought it would still be cold, so I brought shorts and a l/s tech shirt to wear with a workout tank to go underneath it. Well, it's like an absolutely beautiful perfect wonderful 70 degree afternoon now. What is up with this weather? I was dying the moment I stepped outside, so when I got away from the main part of campus I took off the l/s shirt and tied it around my waist. That felt much better! I was really dragging and my hip was hurting me today. Argh. I wanted to run 3 but got back to my starting point at 2.46 and decided to just make it an even 2.5 and I'd be happy.
I am on a lose-10-pounds-before-vacation-next-month-diet. I did pretty well with it last week (my first week). I sucked horribly over the weekend. I ate anything and everything in sight. Now I am doing better about my meals but have had a major sweet tooth; I had THREE cupcakes yesterday! Anyways, I weighed myself today... I've lost 2 lbs. Whoop! Whoop! Now I just need that other 8 to drop magically.
I was also going to attempt to do a pull-up for the first time today for the little challenge some of us are doing. I had every intention of trying. Well, when I got back from running, there were like 5 guys over in the pull-up area working out. They were lifting weights and being serious body-builder guys. So, I decided that I didn't want to embarrass myself and just took another 0 for the pull-up portion. I know, I suck. |
