Guys, I’m going to be honest with you. I skipped Saturday, Monday and Tuesday’s workout. Yeah, I said it. I got a case of the “I’m not losing weight by working out so why am I working out” mental illness and truth be told, I just didn’t feel like working out.
I spent my entire Saturday in bed trying to recover from the past 36 hour of not having slept. It was wonderful! I slept for 12 hours and then got around to doing some light housework before going to work overnight again. But, I did vow to do the Yoga X meant for Saturday on Sunday.
And…as you know, that did not happen. I slept until about 2-ish, put on the Yoga X video and then 2 minutes into it, decided to turn it off. I really did not want to do Yoga X…so I didn’t. I did step on the scale and it said that I was still in the 170’s so that internally justified my decision and mindset at that time. Instead, I did housework all that day. Rearranged the living room, cleaned the kitchen, did 3 loads of laundry (I did have to walk to our apartment’s laundry facility…which is uphill…our washer is still under the weather.) I was moving around, jamming to my music and having an all around wonderful time. I didn’t even feel bad that I didn’t do Yoga. :D
Monday was kind of the same story. I woke up around 3:30pm this time and didn’t even turn on the video; just decided to straight skip it. I did, however, turn on a video of different sorts. I wanted to watch X-Men: First Class again and while the credits were rolling, I pretended to be Chris Beal from my band days and try to lead the band by waving my arms and “directing” an imaginary orchestra. (Chris Beal wasn’t the drum major when I was in band, but you understand what I mean.)
Once the movie was over, I listened to the DVD introduction screen play Magneto’s theme song for about 30 more minutes (dancing and carrying on) while cleaning the bathroom and folding towels, etc. Once the Xbox decided to turn of my precious music, I turned my computer on and was entertained by the various Glee songs on it as well as two Justin Bieber songs while switching over to vacuuming the carpet again, sweeping and mopping, and a few sewing projects that I needed and wanted to get finished. This all took me till about 8:15pm and by that time, I was ready to nap for my Audit shift that night.
And, here I am now, ready to tell you all about the events of the day. I came home and went to bed, woke up at 3pm and sat on my bed deciding what I wanted to do. I knew that I had set in my mind that I wanted to start running and that Tuesday would be my first day. But, being in the funk frame of mind that had taken oven me the past few days, I really had to start moving without any mind power behind it. Before I even knew it, I was wearing my tennis shoes and headed out the door toward the workout facility that our apartment provides.
Before leaving, I grabbed my liter water bottle and the Couch to 5k schedule off of the fridge. It was rather stifling outside and that alone made me not want to run. I proceeded and after a few minutes of tinkering with the treadmill (which I thought at first was broken), I finally got it to work. And, so it begain.
Holy Moly guys!! I was sweating buckets before I got to the halfway mark. Thankfully, over the past 8 months, I’ve gotten in such a shape as to actually run without almost dying for lack of air and was able to get through it without much difficulty. (Near the end, I was drenched [understatement] in nasty, salty sweat and felt like tossing my cookies. Thankfully, they all remained in my stomach.) It was exhilarating and I am excited for the next run!!
Oh yeah, my tennis shoes give me blisters. (Ouch) So, off to Kohl’s we go to try to find me another more comfortable pair. (Hopefully in black so my feet look smaller :D) Lol.
Just to do a little “housekeeping,” on Monday, I weighed in at 169.2! (What!? Lost weight after a week of poor eating choices and cake!? I don’t get it either.)
Just to make you smile…
And, my aunt posted this on her Facebook post. I think it fits.
